I could've been a contender
I could've been almost anything
I could've been a contender
I could've been almost anything
If not for you
If not for you
If not for you
If not for you
If not for you
Contender
Contender
And all the falls I took them down
And for what
Everything turned on the head of a pin
Like a shell that's no longer intact
It's inner strength no longer there
A child's toy is thrown away
And too broken to repair
And now and then I wonder why
That when luck came it passed me by
As if some force had tied me down
I'd marked the pegs and staked the ground
I'll come back strong I promise you
Though some of me has changed
My soul's intact the rest of me
Is more than rearranged
It's true
It's true
It's true
Contender
Contender
And all the falls I turned them down
And for what
I could've been a contender
I could've been almost anything
I could've been a contender
I could've been almost anything
It's not like we're equal
It's not like we're equal
It's not like we're equal
It's not like we're equal
If not for you
Contender
Contender
And all the lies I turned them down
And all the lies I turned them down
I could've been almost anything
I could've been a contender
I could've been almost anything
If not for you
If not for you
If not for you
If not for you
If not for you
Contender
Contender
And all the falls I took them down
And for what
Everything turned on the head of a pin
Like a shell that's no longer intact
It's inner strength no longer there
A child's toy is thrown away
And too broken to repair
And now and then I wonder why
That when luck came it passed me by
As if some force had tied me down
I'd marked the pegs and staked the ground
I'll come back strong I promise you
Though some of me has changed
My soul's intact the rest of me
Is more than rearranged
It's true
It's true
It's true
Contender
Contender
And all the falls I turned them down
And for what
I could've been a contender
I could've been almost anything
I could've been a contender
I could've been almost anything
It's not like we're equal
It's not like we're equal
It's not like we're equal
It's not like we're equal
If not for you
Contender
Contender
And all the lies I turned them down
And all the lies I turned them down
