For The Love Of The Game

from For Love of the Game soundtrack



In the morning of the first night of my life

I was feeling like I'd lost my inspiration

Then in the afternoon she walked into the light

To relieve me of my doubt and desperation



She's not coming here to make herself a name

She only wants to play with me to see if she can win

And we both want it to happen



None down in the bottom of the ninth with three men on

And she saw me like nobody's ever done before

Now in the glory of victorious dominion

She's receding in the sunshine down the corridor



She's not in it for the money or the fame

She only came to play with me to see what place I'm in

And we both know who's gonna give in



For the love of the game

Sometimes you've gotta cry a little

For the love of the game

Maybe even gotta die a little

For the love of the game

I made a sacrifice I never thought I'd have to make



For the love of the game

Sometimes you've gotta cry a little

For the love of the game

Maybe even gotta die a little

For the love of the game

I made a sacrifice I never thought I'd have to make (I made a sacrifice...)



Sometimes you've gotta cry a little

For the love of the game

Maybe even gotta die a little

For the love of the game

I made a sacrifice I never thought I'd have to make
