Love of the Game

How many walls must I walk through? How many times I gotta tell you? 'Cause I needed to and I wanted to, so I'm gonna do Everything I can Sometimes you got to take what you might lose I'd hate to be the one to give you bad news But I needed to be up front with you, so I gotta do Everything I can (Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) I've never been closer than I am right now (Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) 'Cause I'm telling you I ain't in it for the payday I ain't in it for the champagne I'm just in it for the love, the love, the love, the love of the game I ain't in it for the payday I ain't in it for the champagne I'm just in it for the love, the love, the love, the love of the game How many shots must a man take? Before he can make his own way But you need to know that I gotta go, and I'm out the door You got to understand I'm done playing games in the backyard I left home and I learned how to live hard Take a look at me, 'cause I'm gonna be what I'm gonna be You got to understand (Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) I've never been closer than I am right now (Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh) 'Cause I'm telling you I ain't in it for the payday I ain't in it for the champagne I'm just in it for the love, the love, the love, the love of the game I ain't in it for the payday I ain't in it for the champagne I'm just in it for the love, the love, the love, the love of the game (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh!) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh!) (I ain't in it for the payday I ain't in it for the champagne I'm just in it for the love, the love, the love, the love of the game) I ain't in it for the payday I ain't in it for the champagne I'm just in it for the love, the love, the love, the love of the game (Whoa-oh-oh-oh,) I'm comin' for you!
