Tennis Games
A Song About…
How life is a tennis game — even when you’re losing you still have love.
In Tennis, both players start the game with zero points, also referred to as “love”. More on tennis scoring here.
We walk through life and we all take L’s - In relationships, on the job, in our finances. Fortunately for us, life is a tennis game, when we’re losing we’re still winning because everything is working together for our good! God is Intentional (s/o to Travis Greene).

Verse 1
I missed every shot I ever took
How to lose in love:
I taught the class,
I wrote the book.
But you on the other hand,
You’re good at playing singles.
You serve ace after ace after ace (that’s game),
I didn't even come close.
Pre-Hook
L-O-V-E
you and me, we could spell love.
All this extra racket,
You can have it,
I've played enough
Hook
Of these Tennis Games.
The way we play is not the same.
I play for love,
You play for the thrill of the game.
But the rumors are true,
Yeah the jokes is on you,
Cuz even when I lose
I still have Love.
Verse 2
I don't have trophies
That gather dust up on a shelf.
All I have are memories of games,
Sets lost, and matches all by myself
But you on the other hand,
You’re the number one seed.
You stay with the advantage,
Every time the ball is in your court
You return it damaged.
Pre-Hook
L-O-V-E
you and me, we could spell love.
All this extra racket,
You can have it,
I've played enough.
Hook
Of these Tennis Games.
The way we play is not the same.
I play for love,
You play for the thrill of the game.
But the rumors are true,
Yeah the jokes is on you,
Cuz even when I lose
I still have Love.
Bridge
Since we're out here, US in the Open,
I just have one question to ask:
What does it profit a man
To win the game, and lose the match?
Hook
Tennis Games.
The way we play is not the same
I play for love
And you play for the thrill of the game
But the rumors are true
The jokes is on you
Cuz even when I lose
I still have Love
I still have love.
