Round and Round in the Center Ring

Your stubbornness makes a mule
seem like the finest diplomat

Round and Round in the center ring
We keep sparring but eventually
someone must hit the mat

You won't admit that there is a problem
and I am tired of being the one
who's trying to solve it

Eventually the verbal punches
will take their toll
Bob and weave here we go again
Is this the one that makes it all the way to ten?

I'm just as stubborn as you
but you know that
A bell rings and to neutral corners we go
but the referee won't always see what hits us

Round and Round in the center ring
Our only way of problem solving
verbal and emotional
we both know how this must go
we keep sparring but eventually
someone must hit the mat
