All I can say is I'm lucky there weren't MRA Internet forums (or practically the internet at all) back when I wrote this song. I would have been prime picking for one of those misogynist echo-chambers.

lyrics

Mama, I'm quitting the team
I don't want to play anymore
It's been so long since I score
I'm just taking up space on the bench

I don't like games I don't win
Who likes games they never win

You meet someone
And you think they're interested in you
You have fantastic conversations
Over bagels and tea
And the way they look at you
Makes you feel shiny inside
Like a glossy new magazine

But don't hold your breath, brother
Don't hold your breath, babydoll

They say they'll call but they don't
I'm tired of this game
I'm quitting this team
Don't pray they'll fall 'cause they won't
I'm tired of this game
I'm quitting this team

Is there a time you stop falling?
Is there a time you stop falling in love?

They say you'll 'cause you won't
I'm tired of this game
I'm quitting this team
Don't pray I'll fall 'cause I won't
I'm tired of this game
I'm quitting this team

I'm tattered and torn
I'm weathered and worn
A dead heart ain't nothing to mourn
