I used to not believe in flirting
it never appealed to me
but sometimes when you're down and hurting
you think it's what you need.

I only say just what I mean
and sometimes way too much
a word, a compliment, it seems
can substitute a touch.

But if I say "you're pretty, miss"
there's no hidden agenda there
It's just my own assessment
of her beauty that appeared.

"Lady, do you come here often"
Oh, God, that sounds so lame
see it's been so long, I've plum forgotten
how to play the game.

Well, that's just it, love's not a game
it's way past the ninth inning
it's never mild and sure not tame
Good Lord, why ain't I winning!

Face mask, rebound, overtime
the clock has been rewound
I only want the bell to chime,
That's it, I want a touchdown!!!!!!

Notre Dame is the only football team in the world for me.

Nope... love isn't a game... though we do wail when we're not winning! *G* This is great... it has both sadness and smiles. *S*
