Minor leagues are professional sports leagues which are not regarded as the premier leagues in those sports. Minor league teams tend to play in smaller, less elaborate venues, often competing in smaller cities. This term is used in North America with regard to several organizations competing in various sports. They generally have lesser fan bases and smaller budgets.
The minor league concept is a manifestation of the franchise system used in North American sports, whereby the group of major league teams in each sport is fixed for long periods between expansions or other adjustments, which only take place with the consent of the major league owners. In England (and many other countries), the football leagues have many divisions below the top-flight as part of the football pyramid. In other parts of the world there is usually either a system of annual promotion and relegation, meaning that clubs have no fixed status in the hierarchy, or there is only one professional league per country in each sport, rendering the major/minor distinction irrelevant.
Wait, what do you mean – you kind of have a boyfriend?
So I guess this new beginning is already at the end
And wait, what do you mean – it's not like you'll be
married?
So is it a temporary thing? I think I'm getting worried
I like you, you like me, that much is true
So break up with him, go out with me, it's not
difficult
It's not atypical; just make that little call
Make him feel so pitiful tonight
Wait, what do you mean – he's kind of like your best
friend?
I think you need some new company 'cause all of that's
at the end
And wait, what do you mean – you decided to take a
break?
Until he got lonely, then going back was your mistake
I like you, you like me, that much is true
So break up with him, go out with me, it's not
difficult
It's not atypical; just make that little call
Make him feel so pitiful tonight
If you need an ear, I'll lend one
And if you need a year, I'll wait one
If you need advice, I'll give some
But be advised the advice isn't nice
It's to change your life and spend more time with me,
with me, with me
No satisfaction guaranteed, that's understood and fine
with me
I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be here
