"You know there are times in every person's life,
Where they might be passionate about many things at once.
But sometimes, two of those passions can collide at the very same time.
This is a song about one of those times..."

It's Sunday night, the score is tight
And the Big Game's on the box
And I'm sitting at home with my best girl and the halftime show just rocked
The Second-half is action-packed and I'm swelling up with pride
And I'm holding tight to the edge of my seat 'cause the trophy's on the line

And The Game is on
The Home Team is on the field
And time is running out, but our guys just won't yield.
And the Game is on
This just might be our year.
And the home town fans and faithful could have the final cheer,
‘Cause the Game Is On

A fumble on the 40 line
Possession goes our way
And they're charging towards the end zone
Like a freight train runaway.
And that’s when I heard a voice beside me say...
“Honey...do you love me?"

Now I’m not stupid, I’m not dumb.
I know which side my bread is buttered on.
So I reached for the remote to turn the volume down
And I I took her by the hand, and I turned my body round 
And I looked her in the eye, and I told her of my love
I told her she’s an angel, fallen from above.
And she smiled. And we hugged.
And I kissed her on the lips.
And when I thought the coast was clear...I grabbed the beer and chips

‘Cause the game is on.
And now the score is tied.
And I can feel the thrill of victory welling up inside.
And the Game is on
This just might be our year
And the home town fans and faithful could have the final cheer
‘Cause the Game Is On

The quarterback takes the snap, 
And down the field he stares.
Then he fires that Hail Mary, like a rocket in the air...
And that’s when I heard that whisper in my ear...
"Honey...WHY do you love me?"

Now I’m not stupid, or crazy too.
And again I knew exactly what it was I had to do.
I turned the sound right off, and I pulled her close to me. 
Because I really had so much love, and I had to make her see.
I said she makes me smile. I said she makes me whole.
I said her beauty dazzles me, and rocks me to my soul. 
And she smiled again and a tear fell from her eye.
And when she went to dry her cheek, I turned the sound up high
because the game was…over

The Game Is On
