I Can't Get to First Base With You

I Can't Get to First Base With You
Description
Voice
I’ve sacrificed and bunted my own heart
I laughed with tears in my eyes
After each ending you want a new start
Lover, you can’t realize
Chorus
The game is over,
There’s nothing else we can do
I can’t get to first base with you
We’ve been in clover and ev’ry time we get thru
I can’t get to first base with you
Once in the beginning
Love was always winning
And in ev’ry inning
You made a hit with me
This is the windup
I made my mind up to go
You know how I feel about you
You got me crying, alibling, making me blue
I can’t get to first base with you
I’ve sacrificed and bunted my own heart
I laughed with tears in my eyes
After each ending you want a new start
Lover, you can’t realize
Chorus
The game is over,
There’s nothing else we can do
I can’t get to first base with you
We’ve been in clover and ev’ry time we get thru
I can’t get to first base with you
Once in the beginning
Love was always winning
And in ev’ry inning
You made a hit with me
This is the windup
I made my mind up to go
You know how I feel about you
You got me crying, alibling, making me blue
I can’t get to first base with you
