Coming Off the Ropes lyrics

I'm coming off the ropes

(He's going down)

He thinks I'm beat

I'm coming off the ropes yea

This ain't no retreat

He thinks I'm going down

For sure my head is spinning round

When I straighten up

But I'm going to knock him off his feet!

(Wow sucker punch!)

I'm coming off the ropes

(He's going down)

Yes I'm coming off the ropes

I'm coming off the ropes

He made me angry now

I only need to straighten up

I'm going to show him how

I can hear someone count to ten

Seems like a lifetime,

But I'll tell you when

I know I'm safe down here

So till then, must have been a lucky swing

Two years ago,

I would have not let him in

I'm coming off the ropes

(He's going down)
