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 stranger

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 down

You've never knocked me down

You've never knocked me down

You've never knocked me down

You've never knocked me down
