Lyle Lovett - For The Love Of The Game lyrics

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 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 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
