Underdog Lyrics

Been in this place for just a short time
Up from the country to have a good time - in the city
Every job he takes he's used and abused
By boss-men want him to lick their shoes - in the city

Underdog
Underdog
You're an underdog

An' that's the way
That's tha way you're gonna stay

Every girl he's met's him so upset
Treating him bad with no sign of regret - they don't care
So he went to a brothel to pay for love
The whores looked at him started to laugh - so unfair

Underdog
Underdog
You're an underdog

An' that's the way
That's tha way you're gonna stay
Underdog
Underdog
You're an underdog
An' that's the way
That's tha way you're gonna stay

Kick him to the floor
Then you shut the door - underdog

I must confess as it's for the best
I'm the underdog that was in this mess - before
But now I see where I've been going wrong
An' so I've changed into someone strong
For sure

Underdog
Underdog
What a joke
I was dreaming 'till I woke an' saw
