"The Eight Ball," A COUNTRY SONG

VERSE:                                     

If it’s a game we’re playing,

Then you better know the rules.

Oh, you can’t pull a fast one,

‘Cause I’ve got too many moves.

I’m coming at an angle,

That you cannot escape.

I have a firm position.

I’m thinking that it’s fate.

 

CHORUS:                                  

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

You’re cornered; you’re through.

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

I’m so in love with you.

 

VERSE:                                     

Watch me put it in the pocket.

Don’t want to lose my turn.

I’ve lost my share of matches,

And I have finally learned,

That nobody and nothing,

Is standing in my way.

Forget the other players.

I’m chasing them away.

 

CHORUS:                                  

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

You’re cornered; you’re through.

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

I’m so in love with you.

 

SECOND CHORUS:                    

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

You’re finished; it’s true.

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

You helped me find my groove.

 

BRIDGE:                                   

Don’t want you as a trophy.

I’ll take you as my prize.

The honor of a lifetime,

To win your love as mine.

 

CHORUS:                                  

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

You’re cornered; you’re through.

Baby’ you’re behind the eight ball.

I’m so in love with you.

 

SECOND CHORUS:                    

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

You’re finished; it’s true.

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.

You helped me find my groove.

 

TAG:                                         

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

Baby, you’re behind the eight ball.
