About

This song was written in 1995, when the gay-rights movement suddenly gained visibility among the general populace, and led to a bit of a “gay panic” backlash where insecure guys would try a little too hard to prove that they were straight and manly.

Sports & Wine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Destiny was calling
Monday afternoon
Wednesday, you'll be crawling
And you'll pray to be there soon
With sports and wine

[Chorus]
Yeah
Sports and wine
No, no

[Verse 2]
Some men never grew up
Fortunate like you
Some men never found out
What it takes to be a dude
That's sports and wine

[Chorus]
Yeah
Sports and wine
No, no, no

[Verse 3]
The girls don't understand it
What you think is art
My, oh, my, we're all impressed
How sensitive you are
Everybody's talkin' about you now
You know it's true
'Cause it always has been sports and wine for you

[Bridge]
So you ask me how I think I know
Just what makes you tick
I know what I know y'know
I know you make me sick
Sports and wine (do, do-do, do-do-do, do)
Sports and wine (do, do-do, do-do-do, do)

[Verse 4]
The girls don't understand it
Anything you say
And I don't understand it either
Guess that makes me gay
Everybody's talking 'bout you now
You know it's true
(No, no, no!)
