Games Lyrics - Singles - Dog Eat Dog

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.
