It was a basketball Friday night
At the local sports bar.
I was sitting there, watching the Rockets win a game
When I caught her in my sight,
And I watched her from afar.
Then I decided I’d go and ask that girl her name.
She looked me over once or twice,
And I was ready for the fall,
But she smiled at me and said, “I’m glad you came.â€
Well, she was looking really nice
As we were watching basketball,
Then she turned and asked if I’d like to play a game.
She said, “How about some one on one,
Later on tonight?
I know a place where we can be alone.â€
She said, “How about some one on one,
Played by candlelight?
And you can leave your basketball at home!â€
