| 作曲 : Meloy | |
| I fell on the playing field | |
| The work of an errant heel | |
| The din of the crowd and the loud commotion | |
| Went deafening silence and stopped emotion | |
| The season was almost done | |
| We managed it 12 to 1 | |
| So far I had known no humiliation | |
| In front of my friends and close relations | |
| There's my father looking on | |
| And there's my girlfriend arm in arm | |
| With the captain of the other team | |
| And all of this is clear to me | |
| They condescend and fix on me a frown | |
| How they love the sporting life | |
| And father had had such hopes | |
| For a son who would take the ropes | |
| And fulfill all his old athletic aspirations | |
| But apparently now there's some complications | |
| But while I am lying here | |
| Trying to fight the tears | |
| I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger | |
| Though I think I might lie here a little longer | |
| There's my coach he's looking down | |
| The disappointment in his knitted brow | |
| I should've known | |
| He thinks again | |
| I never should have put him in | |
| He turns and loads the lemonade away | |
| And breathes in deep | |
| The sporting life | |
| The sporting life | |
| The sporting life | |
| How he loves | |
| There's my father looking on | |
| And there's my girlfriend arm in arm | |
| With the captain of the other team | |
| And all of this is clear to me | |
| They condescend and fix on me a frown | |
| How they love the sporting life | |
| The sporting life | |
| The sporting life | |
| How they love |
