I feel it in the mornin' when I fall outta bed I never get a break and I can't get ahead I'm up against the ropes, shakin' 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 outta this place But I learned to be tough right out of the box I've graduated from the school o' hard knocks I'm a punching bag I'm a punching bag I've had enough of getting beat up [chorus] I'm a punching bag, hit me all you want to, I've got pretty thick skin Don't count me out, I just might surprise you When I swing back again She broke a promise and now she's gonna leave When she floated like a butterfly, it stung me like a bee She took off the gloves and took a cheap shot She left me hangin' in a pretty tough spot I'm a punching bag I'm a punching bag I've had enough of getting beat up [chorus] I'm a punching bag, hit me all you want to I've got pretty thick skin Don't count me out, I just might surprise you When I swing back again I wanna set the records straight Every day 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 [chorus] I'm a punching bag, hit me all you want to, I've got pretty thick skin Don't count me out, I just might surprise you When I swing back again
