1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 even if you’ve been outpassed 
and at times a tad outclassed
though attacks come thick and fast  
leave your doubts all in the past 
when you’re way past second guesses
when the odds are far from even 
tell the rest this : Lionesses
never stop believin’

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 tiki tika pleasing eyes
doesn’t always win the prize
shapes and pattern don’t win games
we have shown this once again 
sheer resistance underlies
how these girls again surprise 
fighting pressure with high presses
sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason
tell the rest this : Lionesses
never stop believin’

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 never mind your Bonmati 
Paralleulo or Caldentey
we’ve got Russo we’ve got James
we’ve got subs that alter games
skipping on like kids at school
Chloe Kelly breaks the rules 
Hannah’s strength between the sticks
Hemp forever in the mix 
from the tightest scrapes and messes
like the beauty of each season
tell the rest this : Lionesses
never stop believin’

Notes

England 1-1 Spain AET
England win 3-1 on penalties
