For The Love Of The Game Lyrics - Semisonic

In the morning of the first night of my life 

I was feeling like I'd lost my inspiration 

Then in the afternoon she walked into the light 

To relieve me of my doubt and desperation 

She's not coming here to make herself a name 

She only wants to play with me to see if she can win 

And we both want it to happen 

For the love of the game 

Sometimes, you've gotta cry a little 

For the love of the game 

Maybe, even gotta die a little 

For the love of the game 

I made a sacrifice, I never thought, I'd have to make 

None down in the bottom of the ninth with three men on 

And she saw me like nobody's ever done before 

Now in the glory of victorious dominion 

She's receding in the sunshine down the corridor 

She's not in it for the money or the fame 

She only came to play with me to see what place I'm in 

And we both know who's gonna give in 

For the love of the game 

Sometimes, you've gotta cry a little 

For the love of the game 

Maybe, even gotta die a little 

For the love of the game 

I made a sacrifice, I never thought, I'd have to make 

For the love of the game 

Sometimes, you've gotta cry a little 

For the love of the game 

Maybe, even gotta die a little 

For the love of the game 

I made a sacrifice, I never thought, I'd have to make 

I made a sacrifice 

Sometimes, you've gotta cry a little 

For the love of the game 

Maybe, even gotta die a little 

For the love of the game 

I made a sacrifice, I never thought, I'd have to make
