Under the bleachers hiding for an hour Coach is looking for me 'cuz his job is to empower I don’t want to go and I won't make a difference I don’t need a stupid award I’m still in my parka watching condensation I’d be glad to stay here 'til the end of all creation I wish you will cue me, give a little whistle Maybe just a wink of your eyes I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms Could you be there for me And tell me that you want me on the team I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms Basketball Basketball I was counting on you, you’re the one who gets me When I try my best, you shoot a cannon of confetti I’ve been growing colder You’ve been getting bolder But I believe I still have a shot I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms Could you be there for me And tell me that you want me on the team I can’t throw this basketball into my own arms Basketball Basketball Down to the buzzer I’m going for a jumper But, alley Don’t make me go alone I'm alone Over and over and over and over and over
