[Verse 1]
The black silhouette
Appears at my door
Dragging me out
I'm clawing the floorboards
And pretty soon I'm all heads up
For long bombs and double-knotting my Keds up

[Pre-Chorus]
Fake left, go long, quarterback sneak
Try to wriggle out of it, I'll knock you into next week
Curve ball, bean ball, spit ball, damn it all
Sports nut, Alcatraz, digging out the back wall
Don't blame me I don't wanna run a buttonhook
I'm in the middle of a good book

[Chorus]
I quit, and I don't need to win
I don't wanna be an easy out again
Why don't you stay here and play with
Yourself?
I quit, and I don't need to win
I don't wanna be an easy out again
Why don't you stay here and play with
Yourself?
[Verse 2]
It's not that I'm weak
Or don't like outside
Sometimes I submit
And sometimes I hide out
And it's a lowly existence
But when the low survives it's from persistence

[Pre-Chorus]
Fake left, go long, quarterback sneak
Try to wriggle it out of it, I'll knock you into next week
Man on first, man on third
Nerd on second with the knees like a bird
Don't blame me I don't wanna run a buttonhook
I'm in the middle of a good book

[Chorus]
I quit, and I don't need to win
I don't wanna be an easy out again
Why don't you stay here and play with
Yourself?
I quit, and I don't need to win
I don't wanna be an easy out again
Why don't you stay here and play with
Yourself?
[Outro]
Here's a ball, there's a yard
Go and chase it like a stupid St. Bernard
Here's a ball, there's a yard
Go and chase it like a stupid St. Bernard
(Hate a lotta hate a lotta games
I probably oughta not
I might've liked 'em better but a)
Here's a ball, there's a yard
Go and chase it like a stupid St. Bernard
(Made me this way)
Why don't you stay here and play with
Yourself?
(It's OK)
Yourself
