Step up to the plate to play the game Save yourself and quit to play it safe
Step up to the plate to play the game Save yourself and quit to play it safe And the boy's got skills, the girl's got notion He's smart enough but he lacks devotion Your reasons rhyme but your rhymes keep scheming That's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone And I know you'll never make it on your own
And I know you'll never get it right You only take this so far Then leave it all behind So tonight I'm making up my mind Before we take this too far and leave it all behind
So rise up to the occasion Cause you're all excuse With no explanation You've got minor details Filling major gaps in your memory So just trace your footsteps Back to where this all started Before you got yourself Broken-hearted Now just keep your head down Cause you'll never figure it out
And I know you'll never get it right You only take this so far Then leave it all behind So tonight I'm making up my mind Before we take this too far and leave it all behind
Yeah, I'll miss you when I'm gone I'll sing you a sad song tonight And I'll miss you when I'm gone I'll sing you a sad song
One more chance to get this right One more chance to get it right One more chance to get this right But you'll never get it right
I know you'll never get it right You only take this so far Then leave it all behind So tonight I'm making up my mind You know you make this so hard to leave it all behind
Step up to the plate to play the game Save yourself and quit to play it safe
