Standing up at the plate
Waiting on my date
I was starin´ to worry
She was a halt-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
