What is the price that I will pay for my affair with the underdog? The underdog was my love So much more handsome and deserving And so me too You pulled me up by my suspenders So I could fight alongside of you Like immigrants we made it the hard way Building bridges and the subway So enamored with our striving I forgot the price To identify To be fascinated by you My love That's why the story is told So that you don't grow old Stuck in this way of thinking I stack the odds against myself Just in case it works out I can believe in magic Magic says: "Hey you know, I could show up Before the situation gets so tough. Why do you wait until it's dire?" And I say: "You know the reason that I wait is because I so need to believe The miracle's got to be bigger than what you and I, we can conceive." So I stack the odds against myself just in case it works out I can believe in you Chorus Take away my desire to fail Take away my need to commiserate I just wanted to be one of the guys So I promised I'd stay here by your side But no, I won't I can't oh honey – no you don't That's why the story is told So you don't wear clothes you've outgrown So even though it seems That people who have suffered can be nicer Even though it seems and it may be true That people who have suffered can be deeper and kinder If you put on suffering like a coat If you grab the myth of the underdog by the throat And say: "I'm wearing you tonight. I know we can hit it just right." That's when you'll miss it. What is the price that I will pay for my affair with the underdog? The underdog was my love
