Gym Class Hero

Late night basketball trying to get me to play.
But I don't get better if I practice everyday.
You say that I need to know for gym class.
But rather than being a hero I'd rather sit on my ass.

You say that you don't know me.
You say that you don't owe me nothin'
And you won't say nothin'.
I sit back and wonder how
I'm still a gym class hero now.

I've helped you all your life especially in gym class:
I was a captain just so you wouldn't get picked last.
But thinking back on it now I swear I didn't know
That one day you would still be the gym class hero.

You say that you don't know me.
You say that you don't owe me nothin'
And you won't say nothin'.
I sit back and wonder how
I'm still a gym class hero now.

I don't want to be a gym class,
A gym class hero.

You say that you don't know me.
You say that you…

You say you don't believe me.
You say that would leave for nothin'
But you won't say nothin'.
I sit back and wonder how
I'm still a gym class hero now.
