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
The boy has got skill, but the girl's got notion
He's smart enough, but he lacks devotion
Your reasons rhyme, but your rhymes keep scheming
And that's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone
And I know that you'll never make it on your own

I know you'll never get it right
You only take it 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 explaination
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

I know you'll never get it right
You only take it 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

And 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
Before we take this too far and leave it all behind

Step up to the plate to play the game
Save yourself and quit to play it safe
