Prizefighter
Like a bruised prizefighter
I limp from the ring
Heavyweight, I've grown lighter
Bee has lost its sting
Looking back
At my past victories
Sad just to live
For some vain memories
Roses are red
Ribbons are blue
Champion rings are gold
But my glory days are through
With a bruised and squashed ego
I seek solitude
Former queen with broken throne
Comebacks are eschewed
Looking back
I once conquered the world
So arrogant
At the time it unfurled
Roses are red
Ribbons are blue
Champion rings are gold
But my glory days are through
Ooooh-oh
Ooooh-ah
Used up
I'm bruised
I limp
I'm through
Roses are red (red)
Ribbons are blue (ooh-ooh-oh)
Champion rings are gold
But my glory days are through
Roses are red (roses are red)
Ribbons are blue (ribbons are blue)
Champions all grow old (so old)
Hard to face the day we're through
I limp from the ring
Heavyweight, I've grown lighter
Bee has lost its sting
Looking back
At my past victories
Sad just to live
For some vain memories
Roses are red
Ribbons are blue
Champion rings are gold
But my glory days are through
With a bruised and squashed ego
I seek solitude
Former queen with broken throne
Comebacks are eschewed
Looking back
I once conquered the world
So arrogant
At the time it unfurled
Roses are red
Ribbons are blue
Champion rings are gold
But my glory days are through
Ooooh-oh
Ooooh-ah
Used up
I'm bruised
I limp
I'm through
Roses are red (red)
Ribbons are blue (ooh-ooh-oh)
Champion rings are gold
But my glory days are through
Roses are red (roses are red)
Ribbons are blue (ribbons are blue)
Champions all grow old (so old)
Hard to face the day we're through
