Games lyrics

Standing up at the plate
Waiting on my date
I was startin` to worry
She was a half-hour late
My team don`t like it
When I delay the game
But they know I`m crowned
The girl`s on the rebound
Life is like a stadium at night
Crowd cheers jeers
Drama spotlights
The public know us
Maybe they don`t
But now I`m gonna show `em
What the cameras won`t

Time is running out for you and me
What`s it all about?

When I was a kid
I went down to the minors
For stealing a base
They gave me a shiner
Sat me on the bench
`Til I learned my lesson
Little older, wiser
And a little less aggressive
At the age of 17
I got back on the team
Like a quarterback sneak
Everuy kid`s dream
Never far from home
Always in the zone
Home or away
In ballparks and domes

C`mon and play these games today
Who wants to play these games today
I`m gonna play these games today
We gotta play
Play games

Oh yeah! The games we play
We play games

I`ve seen the bad calls
Injuries and penalties
But I keep ducking
All the blocks with ease
Big game exposure
All star composure
You asked me to prove my skills
Then I showed ya
The clock ticks down
To the year 2000
I went for the gold
And I damn near found it
To those who told
I would never succeed
It`s first and goal
And I`m the M.V.P
