Coming Off The Ropes Lyrics by Chris Rea
Album : The Road To Hell: Part 2
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
He thinks I'm beat
I'm coming off the ropes yea
This ain't no retreat
He thinks I'm going down
For sure my head is spinning round
When I straighten up
But I'm going to knock him off his feet!
(Wow suckerpunch!

I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
Yes I'm coming off the ropes

I'm coming off the ropes
He made me angry now
I only need to straighten up
I'm going to show him how
I can hear someone count to ten
Seems like a lifetime,
But I'll tell you when
I know I'm safe down here
So till then, must have been
a lucky swing
Two years ago,
I would have not let him in

I'm coming off the ropes
(he's going down)
I'm coming off the ropes    (he's going down)   He thinks I'm beat   I'm coming off the ropes yea    This ain't no retreat   He thinks I'm going down    For sure my head is spinning round    When I straighten up    But I'm going to knock him off his feet!   (Wow suckerpunch!      I'm coming off the ropes    (he's going down)   Yes I'm coming off the ropes       I'm coming off the ropes   He made me angry now    I only need to straighten up    I'm going to show him how    I can hear someone count to ten    Seems like a lifetime,   But I'll tell you when    I know I'm safe down here    So till then, must have been   a lucky swing   Two years ago,   I would have not let him in       I'm coming off the ropes    (he's going down)
