Brother, I Had Game
By That Beach Sound Cartel
Boys, I don’t mean to brag…
But back in the day…
Brother, I had game!
[Verse 1]
We’d walk into Confetti’s,
City Limits, or Baker’s Street,
A little Miami nightlife,
And the whole world at my feet.
I’d spot a table full of ladies,
Tell the waitress, “Buy ‘em a round,”
My buddies would start laughing,
They knew what was going down.
I’d pull up a chair beside ‘em,
Flash a smile and say my name,
And before they turned the lights out,
Brother, I had game!
[Chorus]
Brother, I had game!
I could charm ‘em with a smile,
Had a pocket full of pickup lines,
And I’d been using ‘em a while.
I could turn a head or two,
Never worried ‘bout the shame,
I wasn’t always lucky, boys,
But brother, I had game!
[Verse 2]
I carried me a lighter,
Never smoked a single day,
But when a pretty girl reached for a cigarette,
I’d light it right away.
And if I ever held her hand,
I’d scratch her palm real slow,
Funny what a little touch
Could do back then, you know!
I’d say, “Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?”
Or, “Girl, you’ve got to be a dream,”
“Do you believe in love at first sight,
Or should I walk by again?”
Some would laugh, some would blush,
Some would call me insane,
But I’d always have another line,
‘Cause brother, I had game!
[Chorus]
Brother, I had game!
I could charm ‘em with a smile,
Had a pocket full of pickup lines,
And I’d been using ‘em a while.
I could turn a head or two,
Never worried ‘bout the shame,
I wasn’t always lucky, boys,
But brother, I had game!
[Verse 3]
Now tell me, do the young guys
Still use pickup lines today?
Or do they just swipe right and swipe left,
Texting the night away?
‘Cause back when I was single,
Those lines were all my jam,
Now I don’t know what the fellas say,
Or how they even land.
And everybody’s vaping,
That lighter’s out of style,
I wouldn’t know how to light one,
Even if I stood there for a while!
[Bridge]
I saw a pretty lady,
Said, “You got a parking ticket?
‘Cause you’ve got fine written all over you!”
She looked at me and laughed…
Said, “Sir, are you feeling all right?”
Well, hell…
That used to work!
[Finale]
I came home to my old lady,
Thought I’d give my charm a try,
Said, “Darlin’, did it hurt
When you fell down from the sky?”
She didn’t miss a heartbeat,
Just rolled those pretty eyes,
Like she’d heard that same old pickup line
About a thousand times.
I said, “Do you believe in love at first sight,
Or should I walk by again?”
She said, “Honey, I’ve heard that one for years,
And it didn’t work back then!”
[Final]
Brother, I had game!
I could charm ‘em with a smile,
Had a pocket full of pickup lines,
And I’d been using ‘em a while.
Now my hair’s a little grayer,
And the rules ain’t quite the same,
My game didn’t retire, boys…
The women just stopped playing!
[Outro]
I said, “Baby, you know I used to have game…”
She rolled those pretty eyes again.
I said, “Hell, honey… I still got it!”
She said I could prove it…
By taking out the garbage!
Brother…
I HAD game
