You seemed to be like a real good idea
At the time, at the time
You lifted me up to some higher ground
Then you dropped me down, ow, on the ground
Well, I rue that day like I don't know how

You picked me up right out of the tide
My eyes weren't open wide, ow, I was blind
But I see much better, much better now

Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves
I walked on the tightrope, didn't lose my nerve
Stayed off the canvas, they couldn't count me out
Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out, and how
Whoo, all fifteen rounds, woww

Hm-hm-hm, hm-hm-hm, yeah

Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves
I walked on the tightrope, didn't lose my nerve
Stayed off the canvas, they couldn't count me out
Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out, and how, yeah

You lifted me up to some higher ground
Then you dropped me down, ow, on the ground
You lifted me up right out of the tide
My eyes weren't open wide, ow, I was blind
But I see much better, much better now, ow
You seemed to be like a real good idea (Ow)
At the time, ow, don't know why
But I rue that day like I don't know how, yeah
I rue that day as of now, whoo
I rue that day like I don't know how, yeah
