I’m a boxer, I always stand my ground
Indeed, I’ve never lost a match, as such
So, the very first time I saw myself go down
I didn’t think it hurt so much

You succeeded to make it happen twice
I didn’t realise I’d let down my guard
I mistook you for a second,
you didn’t need to hit me even hard

All of a sudden
a blast without a sound
now the square looks even bigger
I think I’m alright
and ready for the round
but I still see too many pictures
…of you

As a boxer, I took so many blows – God only knows,
but you won’t stop, I know
till you see me on the mat, flat dead
well, you know, go ahead …you’ve made my day all the same

Given I’ve given, taken I’ve taken
I’m feeling tired now but won’t give in
till I’m dead or till I win the belt of king –
two ways only a boxer leaves the ring!
