Michael Franks - Baseball Lyrics
Ev'ryone sings, "Home of the braveAnd land of the free"You've had twenty wins and one save,Now you're up against meHow can I keep control of my nerves?The way you wind-upWhen you throw me those curves?I hear him yell, "strike",And it's a good callIt's so hard to keep my eyes on the ballOn thebaseballLove is just like baseballAll it is is baseballLove is just like baseballYou have played with me like a pawnFor most of the nightHow'd you get your uniform onSo perfectly tight?You strike me out twicei singled but diedThen you made me pop upBy sneakin' insidei'm gonna change that sneer to respectMake your eyes open wideWhen you feel connect to the baseballOn thebaseballLove is just like baseballAll it is is baseballLove is just like baseballHere i am behind in the nightThe count 's 3 and 2End the game like Beethoven's NINTHIs what I must doSo now that we're hereAlone in the darkI'm gonna send thisRight out of the parkIf I was you i'd leave it alone'Cause I'm tearin' round thirdSlidin' towards homeTearin' round thirdSlidin' towards homeOn thebaseballLove is just like baseballAll it is is baseballLove is just like baseball
