Hardball

[Verse 1]

Woke up late the kettle's cold

The radiator hums a tune

I rehearsed the speech I'd say to you

Felt like June but looked like rain

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need a map

I don't need a sign

I just need a minute of your time

[Chorus]

You play hardball

I play fair

You play hardball

But I still care

Every time you swing I duck

Then I come right back for more

[Post-Chorus]

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

[Verse 2]

Walked the long way past the shop

Where we bought that scratched-up lamp

In my pocket half a folded note

Told the truth then tore it up

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need a plan

I don't want a fight

I just want to see you in the light

[Chorus]

You play hardball

I play fair

You play hardball

But I still care

Every time you swing I duck

Then I come right back for more

[Post-Chorus]

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

[Bridge]

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

Tell me where it hurts

I'll be standing here

Steady as a kitchen chair

Patient as a held-out hand

[Chorus]

You play hardball

I play fair

You play hardball

But I still care

Every time you swing I duck

Then I come right back for more

[Post-Chorus]

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

(Na na na na na)

Na na na na na
