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

 And the boy's got skills, the girl's got notion

 He's smart enough but he lacks devotion

 Your reasons rhyme but your rhymes keep scheming

 That's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone

 And I know you'll never make it on your own

 

And 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

 

So rise up to the occasion

 Cause you're all excuse

 With no explanation

 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

 

And 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

 

Yeah, 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

 You know you make this so hard to leave it all behind
