Minors

Minors

I've been out with plenty of girls
Dated some of the finest of their kind
And achieved every goal I set out for
And I usually know my limits
How far my looks can get me,
considering if I have any

But this girl....
She looks good...wait,
more than just simply "good"
She looks endless
Her beauty stretches beyond forever
She has eyes of gold and silver,
shimmering in the light,
And lighting the dark
Her smile, oh, her smile
her smile makes me smile

She is more beautiful
than every single girl I have ever dated
PUT TOGETHER
And considering the number of girls I've dated
That is saying quite a lot

She is way out of my league
I'm in the minors and she is in the majors
Sure I can find a way in
with a little hard work and determination
she can be mine
But there are just better players out there than me
With better swings and a better bating average
So I think to myself
why would she settle for a rookie like me?

But, if just given the chance
I would offer her everything
that my minor league salary can offer
I'd show her what nice guys are all about
Sure, we may finish last
But it's only because we pace ourselves
We're in no hurry because we know we'll reach,
The finish line soon enough
I only hope that when I finally reach the end
She'll be waiting there for me
