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, 'til 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've graduated from the school of Hard Knox 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'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 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'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 never 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 Yea, I've had enough of getting beat up 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
