Sara Groves – The Boxer lyrics
When you said this was a fight
You weren't kidding
When you said this was a fight
You weren't kidding, kidding
'Cuz my ribs are bruised
And it's just round two

When you said this was a fight
You weren't kidding
When you said this was a fight
You were not kidding
'Cuz there's a cut on my eye
And it's just round five

And I used to be quick
I used to see you coming
I used to know how to move my feet
Now I can't duck
And I can't land nothin'
And I forgot how to bob and weave
Bob and weave

When you said this was a fight
You weren't kidding
When you said this was a fight
You weren't kidding, kidding, kidding
'Cuz this room's in a spin
And it's just round ten

If you care at all
Take that towel from your neck
'Cuz I've reached down deep
And there is nothing left
I've got nothing
I've got nothing
I've got nothing

And I was talkin' big
I was talkin'
But now, now what?

Greater is He who is in me
Greater is He who is in me
Okay, okay, okay
Greater is He who is in me
Greater is He who is in me
Greater, greater, okay

Bob and weave (x12)

And I can't just know it
I've got to feel it
And I can't just feel it
I've got to believe it
And I can't just believe it
I've got to live it
And I can't just live it
(You've got, you've got to believe it)

Bob and weave (x6)
