I can meet you in the ring Where the sweat and punches fly I can meet you in the ring Where one of us is bound to cry Why do we fight? How can a love this pure and true Have me falling through the ropes? How can this love make me so cruel To lose your faith, to lose your hope? Why do we fight? Let's face up to the fact That face-down on the mat Won't solve this or anybody else's fight It's not hard to figure out There's no victory in doubt Why do we fight?
