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 would cue me, give a little whistle Maybe just a wink of your eyes 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-oop-oop Don't make me go alone Ooh, I'm 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 Basketball, basketball (Over and over and over and over and over)
