This is a very difficult thing to say. I’ve never had these words fall out of my mouth before so, don’t think I’m odd, strange, creepy or anything like that. Okay..phew..here it goes.. I fell in love with a mascot A year ago our High schools played each other in football And I didn’t know it back then but I saw a wolf doing cart-wheels 50 yards away and I thought It was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen To be honest, I thought it’d be a guy Not to be sexist or anything but it never occurred to me That the physical manifestation of beauty could find itself Wrapped up inside the costume of a wolf Your school won And I figured that was a metaphor for how you took my heart When you pulled off the wolf head Slid brown hair away from your face And batted eyelids at me like you were shooting guns Bulls eye Lead the crowd to cheer Your motivation is like a beam of light in this dark 20th century stadium I just want you to be around as long as possible I wished the game went into triple overtime If I learned anything that day it was courage Because I asked a wolf For her number
