THIS IS A SPORT, A PASSION, A LOVE,
ITS TAKES A BIG RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE A HOLD OF.
PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES TAKES,
TO BE WATCHED BY MANY AND NOT MAKE A MISTAKE.

IT TAKES LONG HOURS TO ‘MAKE PRACTICE PERFECT,’
BUT ONCE YOU’RE ON THAT FLOOR YOU KNOW IT’S ALL WORTH IT.
PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY “IT’S NOT EVEN A SPORT.”
EVERYTHING MUST BE PERFECT, OR YOU MIGHT COME UP SHORT.

HAVING TO LIFT A GIRL WEIGHING ABOUT 100 POUNDS,
SHE RELIES ON HER BASES, SO SHE WON’T HIT THE GROUND.
ITS TAKES A LOT OF STRENGTH; YOU NEED A LOT OF POWER,
THE PRACTICES ARE LONG BUT IT TAKES EVERY HOUR.

THIS IS WHAT I LOVE; JUST LOVING TO CHEER,
HAVING GIRLS PULL THEIR ONE LEG TO THEIR EAR.
PEOPLE DON’T TAKE US SERIOUSLY; IT HURTS ME TO SAY,
I ALWAYS TRY MY BEST, TO MAKE THEM THINK A DIFFERENT WAY.

COMPETITION IS DIFFERENT, ALL EYES ARE ON YOU,
EVERYONE’S ALL NERVOUS, BUT WE END UP PULLING THROUGH.
GAMES IS TO PUMP UP THE PLAYERS OUT THERE PLAYING,
WE ARE AS LOUD AS WE CAN BE WITH THE CHEERS WE ARE SAYING.

WE AREN’T LIKE THE ONES IN MOVIES; WE ARE NOT ALL BRATS,
IT’S VERY HYPOCRITICAL, WE ARE NEVER LIKE THAT.
SOME GIRLS QUIT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT,
THEY ALL CAN’T ADMIT THEY CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THE BEAT.

THIS SOMETHING I LOVE DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART,
I WILL CHEER FOREVER, NOTHING WILL KEEP ME APART.
