The Ring

You thank me all the time
But now it's my turn
'Cause truly a word of gratitude so due
Can't go unheardAnd it made me feel better
To have you there in my corner
My eyes cast so low
My face could not have been drawn longerWell, I know you've been impressed
You've seen me at my best
But oh, how it hurts
When I can't hide my worstWell, thank you for carrying on
For playing with me and this song
It made me feel better
We sat it out like some passing bad weatherWell, my mind was like kid's boxing gloves
The kind blown up with air
That are put away after play
And get limp just lying thereBut you knew they'd fill up again
And you gave me your shoulder
And I got up in the ring
Because I had you there in my cornerAnd I got up in the ring
Because I had you there in my corner
