Boxing Lyrics by Bette Midler

Boxing

Howard, the strangest things
Have happened lately when i
Take a good swing
And all my dreams
They pivot and slip.
I drop my fists
And theyre back, laughing.

Howard, my intentions
Become not to lose what Ive won.
Ambition has given way
To desperation and i,
Ive lost the fight from my eyes.

Boxings been good to me, howard.
Now Im told,
"youre growing old."
The whole time we knew
A couple of years Id be through.
Has boxing been good to you?

Howard, now I confess
Im scared and lonely and tired.
Everyone says Im made of clay,
That Ive had my day,
That Im not cut out for this.
I just know what to say.
And I say,

Boxings been good to me, howard.
Now Im told,
"youre growing old."
The whole time we knew
A couple of years Id be through.
Has boxing been good to you?

Well, sometimes I punch myself
Hard as I can.
Yelling, "nobody cares!"
Hoping someone will tell me how wrong I am,
Howard.

Boxings been good to me, howard.
Now Im told,
"youre growing old."
The whole time we knew
A couple of years Id be through.
Has boxing been good,
Has boxing been good,
Has boxing been good?
