Under the bleachers hiding for an hour Coach is looking for me ‘cause his job is to empower I don’t wanna to go in, 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 would cue me, give a little whistle Maybe just a wink of your eye 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, ooh, alley-oop-oop-oop Don’t make me go alone Ooh, I’m alone Over and over and over and over and over 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 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 Over and over and over and over and over
