lyrics

He was a quiet guy, just a little bit shy
The kind of guy that didn't cause a lot of racket
So he could keep it lean, he joined the tennis team
But any skill that you could name, he probably lacked it
He was convinced that love meant nothing to him, until he saw her practicing on the tennis court
Never thought he'd have a change of courting anyone, yeah at the baseline of things, he knew he fell short

But he'd play a match against her any day
Just to see her do that fore-swing
He'd serve an ace into her heart and maybe she'd agree
The two of them would make a perfect doubles team

He needed a new spin on things to get the ball rolling
But he was certain she'd say "deuces" and bounce out
He felt caught in a net; his mind could never let
Him find a way he thought she'd like to know what he's about
He figured if he took advantage of their common interests, maybe there'd be a chance she'd think he was a good catch
And so he chose to try to set up a time to volley, and he just hoped that she was looking for a good match

He told himself she was out of his league, quite literally
Because this year he got stuck on JV, while she made varsity

But he'd play a match against her any day
Just to see her do that fore-swing
He'd serve an ace into her heart and maybe she'd agree
The two of them would make a perfect doubles team

So there she was; it was time to follow through
Took his approach shot, saying "Hey Allie, how do you do?
I'm not a great line judge, so please feel free to overrule,
But if we hung out, that'd be cool"

'Cuz he'd play a match against her anyday
Just to see her do that back-swing
He served an ace into her heart and said, "Girl, please agree,
The two of us would make a perfect doubles team"

Now he plays a match against her every day
Just to see her do that back-swing
He served an ace into her heart and you bet she agreed
The two of them would make a perfect doubles team
