This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot And this ain't cards It's our hearts we're dealing with now No more games for me girl I'm fit to be tied down I've lost at love, got some bruises But the heart that don't give up Never really loses Since I met you It don't make sense to keep on playing around Anyone can see you've got me Fit to be tied down Tie me down, wrap me up in forever I've found something sweet in surrendering now Take me off this merry go round Going round in circles has got me nowhere But a love like yours is really so rare And I'm amazed at the treasure I've finally found I'm on bended knee 'Cause I'm fit to be tied down Tie me down, wrap me up in forever I've found something sweet in surrendering now Take me off this merry go round This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot And this ain't cards It's our hearts we're dealing with now No more games for me girl I'm fit to be tied down No more games for me girl I'm fit to be tied down
