From the recording Better Than
Lyrics
[Intro]
“Ding, ding! Round one, baby--it’s playtime!”
[Verse 1]
Wake up early, stretch my paws
Life’s a game, I don’t need applause
Jab left, jab right, tail in flight
Every day’s a ring, and I’m feelin’ alright
Got muscles, yeah, but a golden heart
Protect my fam--that’s my art
I guard the house, but play all day
I’m the champ of joy in every way
[Pre-Chorus]
You throw the ball, I throw my grin
We both know who’s gonna win
I don’t need fame or trophies tall
Just a pat on the head--I’ve got it all
[Chorus]
Gloves up, heart wide
I’m your fighter on the sunny side
Bounce high, never down
I’m the Boxer with a love that pounds
Gloves up, tail swing
I’m your champion in everything
No fear, no bluff
Life’s a fight for love-- gloves up!
[Verse 2]
I might drool when I’m feeling hype
But I’m the feel-good, bark-on type
Strong outside, soft within
Every scratch you give’s a win
When you’re blue, I’ll clown for you
Do the Boxer dance -- one, two, one, two
I don’t quit, I don’t hide
I’m your shadow with a fearless stride
[Pre-Chorus]
You laugh, I bark, we roll around
This ring of love’s the best I’ve found
No towel throw, no giving in
We fight for joy--and both of us win
[Chorus]
Gloves up, heart wide
I’m your fighter on the sunny side
Bounce high, never down
I’m the Boxer with a love that pounds
Gloves up, tail swing
I’m your champion in everything
No fear, no bluff
Life’s a fight for love--gloves up!
[Bridge]
When the world feels heavy, dark, and rough
I’ll stand beside you--I’m built tough
No gold, no fame, no crown above
Just paws, protection, and endless love
[Chorus]
(Backing) Gloves up!
(Lead) Tail high!
(Backing) Tail high!
(Lead) Punchin’ joy into the sky!
(Backing) Gloves up!
(Lead) Never quit!
(Backing) Never stop!
(Lead) Boxer heart, right on top!
(Backing) Gloves up!
We rise again
Through every storm, through every spin
Life hits hard, but that’s our stuff
We fight with love--gloves up!
[Outro]
“Round’s over? Nah… I got one more in me!”
