Never knocked me down

You could've been a contender
The next great white hope
Not just another pretender
Not just the next big joke
You had to reach for the stars though
Nobody gets it all
Without playin' a game, son
You're gonna take a fall

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down

You don't get nothin' for nothin'
Ain't that what they all say
We're all fightin' for somethin'
But there's a price to pay
Yeah, you can stand there forever
Just take it blow by blow
Nobody else is the wiser
They just came for the show

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down

But in the fists of a strange
There is a shadow of doubt
Go on pretend you're a winner
Go on sell yourself out

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
