Well, they sprung me out of Quentin
I'm back on the mob's payroll
They can buy my body
Sure they can't buy my soul

I'm working out of Stockton
I'm weighing in at two-o-one
But there's a man in the front row
Sent down by the mob with a gun

For Kid Gloves, I'm back out on the street
Kid Gloves, the master to the beat
Kid Gloves, I'll do anything but dive

We'll the bought me out of Quentin
They've gone and placed their bets
I've got to throw the fight
Just to save my neck

Saying 'Yes' to the set-up
Made me feel so cheap
But the street felt so good
Now I've only got myself to beat

A deal is a deal
But you know I just can't win
The mob oughta know
My conscience is wearing thin
For Kid Gloves, I'm back in the ring
Kid Gloves, I'll fight anything
Kid Gloves, I'll do anything but dive
Kid Gloves', I'm back on the street
Kid Gloves the master to beat

Kid Gloves, Ill do anything but cry
Kid Gloves, I'm back on my feet
Kid Gloves, The master to beat
Kid Gloves, I'll do anything but cry

Kid Gloves, I'm back in the ring
Kid Gloves, I'll fight anything
Kid Gloves, I'll do anything but dive

Well, they burned me out of Quentin
They've gone and placed their bets
I've got to throw a fight
Just to save my neck

Saying "Yes" to the set-up
Made me feel so cheap
But the street felt so good
Now I've only got myself to beat

Kid Gloves, I'm back out on the street
Kid Gloves, the master to beat
Kid Gloves, I'll do anything but dive
Kid Gloves, I'm back in the ring
Kid Gloves, I'll fight anything
Kid Gloves, I'll do anything but cry
Kid Gloves, I'm faster on my feet
Kid Gloves, the master to beat
Kid gloves, I'll do anything but dive
