The Fight lyrics

The trainer says you better take it slow

The doctor says he don't got long to go

The referee is counting down from ten

The crowd's on its feet thinkin' it's the end

The money's been down since late last night

Left, right, left, the kid's on the floor

Left, right, left, yes, he comes up for more

Hanging on the ropes, gasping for a breath

Left, right, left, it's a fight to the death

The dailies hold their final run

As fists swing in the pendulum

But even though our boy could win

There'll still be nothin' left of him

The money's been down since late last night

Left, right, left, the kid's on the floor

Left, right, left, yes, he comes up for more

Hanging on the ropes, gasping for a breath

Left, right, left, it's a fight to the death  

That's the way that men survive

You go the distance or take a dive

The money's been down since late last night

(Hey)

Left, right, left, the kid's on the floor

Left, right, left, yes, he comes up for more

Hanging on the ropes, gasping for a breath

Left, right, left, it's a fight to the death  

Left, right, left, the kid's on the floor

Left, right, left, yes, he comes up for more

Hanging on the ropes, gasping for a breath

Left, right, left, it's a fight to the death  

Left, right, left, the kid's on the floor

Left, right, left, yes, he comes up for more

Hanging on the ropes, gasping for a breath

Left, right, left, it's a fight to the death  

Left, right, left, the kid's on the floor
