lyrics

I don’t want a life
I want the highlights
Just like you see on the news
Only want to see the home runs and touchdowns
Don’t waste my time with the blues

Show me the big play
Show me the crowd wave
Just make the camera go zoom
Show me the champagne
Spare me the real pain

I only wanna see the winners getting happy
Not the sorrow in the losers’ locker room

I don’t want a love
I want the highlights
Just like you see on the screen
I want the sex, yeah I want the passion
Don’t want no part of no emotional scenes

Give me the fireplace
Give me the fireworks
Give me the sweat and the smiles
Don’t wanna hear about in-laws and mortgages
I don’t wanna look in your eyes and see the years and the miles

I don’t have time for the whole game only the score
‘Cause sitting still through a slow game’s only a bore
I don’t have time to be caring and crying and so
Only give me the best so that I can digest and then go

I don’t want to care
I want the highlights
I want to pick and to choose
Only the good times then I can’t be bothered
It’s just too hard when I lose

Cut out the homeless the hurt and the hard case
Cut out disaster and crime
Don’t let me see one more face of a refugee
I’m too busy running in my life to spare any time

Give me the highlights
