The last selection in the ballgame,

no girls, no sweet romance.

when you never got a second chance.

Do you know, who´s that guy, who´s all alone?

He´s not going to the school-prom.

He said he had the flue.
G
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom.
Em D C
-I´m safer here with you.
G
She told her son. -Some day they´ll all be
Em D C
sorry for mistreating you.
G
Don´t be afraid my son and trust me,
Em D C
-You´ll be someone they will look up to.
G Em D C
Do you know, who´s that guy, who´s all alone?
