Basketball

Lyrics for Basketball

Under the bleachers hiding for an hour Coach is looking for me 'cause his job is to empower I don't want to go and I won't make a difference I don't need a stupid award I'm still in my parka watching condensation I'd be glad to stay here 'til the end of all creation I wish you will cue me, give a little whistle Maybe just a wink of your eye I can't throw this basketball into my own arms Could you be there for me And tell me that you want me on the team? I can't throw this basketball into my own arms Basketball Basketball I was counting on you, you're the one who gets me When I try my best, you shoot a cannon of confetti I've been growing colder, you've been getting bolder But I believe I still have a shot I can't throw this basketball into my own arms Could you be there for me And tell me that you want me on the team? I can't throw this basketball into my own arms Basketball Basketball Down to the buzzer I'm going for a jumper but, ooh, alley-oop, ooh-oh Don't make me go alone I'm alone (alone) Over and over and over and over and over I can't throw this basketball into my own arms Could you be there for me And tell me that you want me on the team? I can't throw this basketball into my own arms (Could you be there for me) basketball (And tell me that you want me on the team?) Basketball I can't throw this basketball into my own arms Over and over and over and over and over (basketball, basketball)
