Destiny was calling
Monday afternoon
Wednesday you'll be crawling
and pray to be there soon
with sports and wine
yeah
sports and wine
no, no
some men never grew up
fortunate like you
some men never found out
what it takes to be a dude
now sports and wine
yeah
sports and wine
no,no,no
the girls don't understand it
what you think is art
my, oh my, we're all impressed
how sensitive you are
everybody's talkin' 'bout you now
you know it's true
'cause it always has been
sports and wine for you
so you ask me how I think I know
just what makes you tick
I know what I know ya know
I know you make me sick
and sports and wine
oh oh
sports and wine
the girls don't understand it
anything you say
and I don't understand it either
guess that makes me gay
everybody's talkin' 'bout you now
you know its true
