Play 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 girls on the rebound
 Life is like a stadium at night
 Crowd cheers jeers
 Drama spot lights
 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 


Every 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
