I know there's a word for this
I know there's a word for the way I'm feeling
I know there's a word for this
I know it, and it's on the tip of my tongue
and it won't go any further.

I know there's a word for this
I know, 'cause it's in the dictionary
and when I find what it is
I'll write it down in case it comes up again
I'll be certain to avoid it.

[Chorus]
So, take this down: I just feel so beat
and I think it's time to admit defeat
I thought I got mine
but that uphill climbing is never through.

I know there's a word for this
I know 'cause we've all at sometime said it
like when we were little kids
we'd fight each other 'til someone would give in
and you'd make him tell you 'uncle'.

[Chorus]
So, take this down: I just feel so beat
and I think it's time to admit defeat
I thought I got mine
but that uphill climbing
is never through.
