"On Bended Knees"
by The ISU Fan base
(Inspired by BoyzIIMen)

Freddy, we can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Coach, it's drivin' us insane
And we know we just need one more chance
To prove our love to you
If you come back and stay
We'll guarantee
That we'll never let you go

Can we go back to the days our team was strong
Can you tell us how a perfect bond goes wrong
Can somebody tell us how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh Fred give us the reason
We're down on bended knee
We'll never win again until you come back to the team
We're down on bended knees

Sooooooo many nights we fret and cry
Checking our twitter feeds, we know
That we are scared you're gone fo' sho'
When we open up our eyes
To face reality
Just one season without you
Will seem like eternity
We're begging you, begging you stay our HC

Can we go back to the days our team was strong
Can you tell us how a perfect bond goes wrong
Can somebody tell us how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh Fred give us the reason
We're down on bended knee

We'll never win again until you come back to the team
We're down on bended knees

Freddy, we're sorry
Please forgive us for all the freaking out we've done
Please come back home, Mayor
We know you could coach anywhere
We're sorry, please forgive us

JP will swallow his pride
Pay you money
Stay here forever, you're so damn dreamy
We want a title
And we want it with you
It wont feel the same
If you win it in Chi-ca-go
You know that there's magic, out on that floor
It'll heal all things
We won't lose any more
No we don't believe you'll leave us alone
We're down on our knees begging you please
Stay home!!!!

Can we go back to the days our team was strong
(Can you stay home Freddy, just want you to stay home Freddy)
Can you tell me how a perfect bond goes wrong
Can somebody tell us how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh Fred give us the reason
We're down on bended knee
We'll never win again until you come back to the team
We're down on bended knees

Wanna make you a champ
You and JP
Gonna get you a ring
Create a dynasty!

We'll never win again
Unless you come back to Ames
We're down on Bended Knees

When I saw this thread title, I was afraid you made a youtube video for Fred like that one guy did for Royce White. Needless to say I'm happy you didn't

You're all welcome when Fred references this as his reason for staying. I know its stupid but it was a fun way to deal with the inevitably of him leaving.

We need a Fred haiku in here or I'm merging it

Dreamy delivers us basketball glory
We respond with thoughtless jabs at him
Chicago Bulls here he comes

McDoormat crushed hopes and dreams
Hoiberg delivered results beyond my wildest imaginations
Loved it while it lasted

Not my best work... but it's late and i should be sleeping
