I'm on the sideline hoping that you'll give me a chance I'm on the sideline won't you let me prove myself
My competition is very strong but he just plans to lead you on your heart he's winning while I'm hanging on if my turn comes I'll change the score
I'm on the sideline wishing I was your choice I know you need just what I've got in stored
Its so hard to keep my control cause everything about you turns me on its a shame the way its goin' down I'm on the sideline while he's playing around
(Music break)
Please, please won't you just give me a try!
I'm on the sideline trying hard to catch your eye I'm on the sideline things won't be the same that's a promise baby I'm on the sideline waiting to hear my name I won't cheat on you I'm on the sideline
