Dog Eat Dog Games
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.
