Love Of The Game

How many walls must I walk through?

How many times I gotta tell you?

‘Cause I needed you and I wanted you, 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

I’ve never been closer than I am right now

‘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

(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!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh!) I’m comin’ for you!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh,) I’m comin’ for you!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh.) I’m comin’ for you!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh,) I’m comin’ for you!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh!) I’m comin’ for you!

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh,)

Ohh, I’m comin’ for you

Oh, I’m comin’ for you
