The Patches on a Football

I’m no good when stripped off

I make the surface so appealing
I am old school even though I’ve changed
I’ve only done it so new ones can like me

I’m no good when stripped off
For from the first time you saw me you only wanted to play
Nothing really serious, but just so everyone could see
And have fun doing it, you knew I was good for one thing
I make the surface so appealing

I am old school even though I’ve changed
From perfect shapes, evenly placed
To flashy styles, matching the trends
Keeping up to the time, not that I’m not good as me
I’ve only done it so new ones can like me
