Im In Love With Steffi Graf Tab

Key: 

Intro:  

                          
She's got eyes like diamonds,

                       
Hair like twisted gold.

                        
When she looks up to me,

                    
I feel my blood run cold

                             
Now, I don't care if people laugh (A-ha)
                       
I'm in love with Steffi Graf

                             
I watched her all last summer;
                         
I watched her every day
                             
She knew that I was with her,
                      
She didn't have to say

                          
She can run, but she can't hide

                           
She knows I feel deep down inside..

                  
That Steffi is an angel
             
But she folds her wings
                         
And walks like you and me
 
She's extremely good at tennis
                                  
On any kind of surface there might be
                   
Clay or grass
          
She'll flay your ass
                                     
And when she hits that topspin second serve
                             
I think I know the meaning of love

                                
Eastbourne never was a favorite
                              
The outside courts were damp
                         
She had a hamstring problem
                      
And recurring muscle cramp
                                     
But she dug deep and won it just the same
                               
My angel never lost a service game

                               
But now, a shadow in the distance
                    
A girl with ponytails
                               
Sixteen and full of hunger
            
The end of Steffi's trail
                  
I can't wait for her defeat
                       
I fetch a knife and take my seat
                  
'Cause Steffi is a goddess
                            
My love for her, it knows no bounds


I'd kill to make her happy,
                                     
Or just to get her through the early rounds
         
Kill or maim
             
It's just a game

                               
But if I had another life, I'd chose
                                
To come back as one of Steffi's shoes
 
'Cause Steffi is an angel

But she folds her wings
                       
And walks like you and me
