Punching Bag

I feel it in the morning when I fall out of bed
I never get a break and I can't get ahead
I'm up against the ropes, shaking in my shoes
I take it on the chin till I'm black and blue

I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag

I'm backed into a corner with a foreman in my face
I can't fight my way out of this place
But I learned to be tough right out of the box
I graduated from the school of hard knocks

I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag, hit me all you want to
I got pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you when I swing back again

She broke her promise and now she's gonna leave
When she floated like a butterfly, stung me like a bee
She took off the gloves and took a cheap shot
And she left me hanging in a pretty tough spot

I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag, hit me all you want to
I got pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you when I swing back again

I wanna set the record straight
Everyday life is a heavy weight
You can tear me up, there ain't no doubt
But you ain't ever gonna knock me out

I'm a punching bag, I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag

Yeah I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag, hit me all you want to
I got pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you when I swing back again
