Under the bleachers hiding for an hourCoach is looking for me'Cause his job is to empowerI don't want to go in, I won't make a differenceI don't need a stupid awardI'm still in my parka watching condensationI'd be glad to stay here 'til the end of all creationI wish you would cue me, give a little whistleMaybe just a wink of your eyeI can't throw this basketballInto my own armsCould you be there for meAnd tell me that you want me on the team?I can't throw this basketballInto my own armsBasketballBasketballI was counting on you, you're the one who gets meWhen I try my best, you shoot a cannon of confettiI've been growing colder, you've been getting bolderBut I believe I still have a shotI can't throw this basketballInto my own armsCould you be there for meAnd tell me that you want me on the team?I can't throw this basketballInto my own armsBasketballBasketballDown to the buzzerI'm going for a jumperBut, ooh, alley-oop-oop-oopDon't make me go aloneOoh, I'm aloneOver and over and over and over and overI can't throw this basketballInto my own armsCould you be there for meAnd tell me that you want me on the team?I can't throw this basketballInto my own armsCould you be there for meAnd tell me that you want me on the team?I can't throw this basketballInto my own armsOver and over and over and over and over
