Baseball

Ev'ryone sings, "Home of the brave
 And land of the free"
 You've had twenty wins and one save,
 Now you're up against me
 How can I keep control of my nerves?
 The way you wind-up
 When you throw me those curves?
 I hear him yell, "strike",
 And it's a good call
 It's so hard to keep my eyes on the ball
 On the baseball
 Love is just like baseball
 All it is is baseball
 Love is just like baseball
 You have played with me like a pawn
 For most of the night
 How'd you get your uniform on
 So perfectly tight?
 You strike me out twice
 i singled but died
 Then you made me pop up
 By sneakin' inside
 i'm gonna change that sneer to respect
 Make your eyes open wide
 When you feel connect to the baseball
 On the baseball
 Love is just like baseball
 All it is is baseball
 Love is just like baseball
 Here i am behind in the night
 The count 's 3 and 2
 End the game like Beethoven's NINTH
 Is what I must do
 So now that we're here
 Alone in the dark
 I'm gonna send this
 Right out of the park
 If I was you i'd leave it alone
 'Cause I'm tearin' round third
 Slidin' towards home
 Tearin' round third
 Slidin' towards home
 On the baseball
 Love is just like baseball
 All it is is baseball
 Love is just like baseball
