I fought and fought
Each blow with careful thought
Yet loss the battle
I will win the war.

He through the same old excuse out there
I knew better
He said no
You didn’t say yes

Him with his facts
You with a brain
A battle for the ages
Not right now

You’re young
He’s middle –aged
He wants the old days
You can’t do but hope

Now it’s over
You have loss
Yet you have won
It’s not done

You’ve shown your brains
He’s scared now
He intimidates
You don’t quit

Your fifteen now
You don’t throw a 5 year old hissy fit
He’ll get weak
Then you strike

Against all odds you will be there
He will finally have no choice but to hear
You have a chance speak loud and clear
This battles over and you have won
