Nothin' Against the Game

Yeah I know exactly what time it is
I haven't forgotten the game
You're very welcome
For that beer I gave you in the break
It's so good to see you've come over
Especially since it's been a while
I wore their colours
You never noticed
I didn't smile

Don't mind me
Just keep watching the game on the tv
And excuse me if I'm blocking the view of the tv
Yes I see your team has picked up since the half time
And it's nice to see you happy when they score

But no I'm not asking you to switch off
I've got nothin' against the game
And sure
You could keep drinkin' some more
But it would be nice if you take some time
To look me in the eye and talk and really listen too
Some gratitude would be good from you

Let's go overseas let's just get away
Let's save some money and escape
You cross your fingers you've got some money on the game
Don't you ever get sick and tired
Feel like you're meant for something more
I want to do things, you ask me what things
You ask what for

You're more worried
About your team on the news on the tv
Those injuries, its just bad news for the whole season
Now you see me and how I shake my head and take
My place right next to you to watch the replay

But no I'm not asking you to switch off
I've got nothin' against the game
And sure
You could keep drinkin' some more
But it would be nice if you take some time
To look me in the eye and talk and really listen too
Some gratitude would be good

Listen to me
You just keep watching the game on the tv
Believe me I'll still be here when the game is over
And I know you know you don't take me for granted
Don't get me wrong I'm glad you're here

But no I'm not asking you to switch off
I've got nothin' against the game
And sure
You could keep drinkin' some more
But it would be nice if you take some time
To look me in the eye and talk and really listen too
Some gratitude would be good from you
