Lyrics Dog Eat Dog

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
