They Think Its All Over...

I got his love Now I run with it Defenders are at my door I bring out all my moves To trick them and dodge Hoping to score once more One tackle too late In the game I know I could lose it all So its time to adapt Do I play it wide to be safe Or do I take that fall At least the fall Would give me time A penalty kick could save me grace But if I take the foul I could be on my way to the bench Someone else will take my place So I pat my brow Vow to battle on Kick the ball out of view I run past the defenders Just to gain a cross I strike, I score I get you.....!!!
