Lyrics
I WANNA SACK THE QUARTERBACK
(c) Pam Hanna/Patty Markoch (BMI)
Two minute warning, I'm running out of time
The crowd is watching to see if I can find
Exactly what it takes to win this game
If I bring him down he won't be the same
I wanna sack, sack the quarterback
Bringing him to his knees
He'll be defenseless and maybe
He'll start seeing the power in me
I wanna sack the quarterback
Everybody thinks I'm the quiet one
Who stands in his shadow, afraid to take him on
They'll find out in this game of pass and play
He'll be looking stunned if I have my way
CHORUS
BRIDGE
He's ready to fly, but I'm in control
Yes, I am the one with the immediate goal
Start that pass, bring him down
With my arms wrapped around him
Bring him down to his knees
What's wrong with that, sounds right to me
CHORUS
I wanna sack, sack the quarterback
You know I wanna sack you baby
I wanna sack, sack the quarterback
I'm in control
I wanna sack, sack the quarterback
You know you are my goal
I wanna sack, sack the quarterback
I'l wrap my arms around you
I wanna sack, sack the quarterback
Why won't you try a touchdown
