Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Up to bat, to bat
I thought I hit a love run
But to my surprise
I found I didn't hit none
Threw her love so fast
She put me in a daze
Never knew that love
Could come so many ways
[Verse 2]
Strike one, she took me by surprise
Strike two, right in front of my eyes
Strike three, oh I was out, without a doubt, oh I was out
[Verse 3]
Love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Whether you win or lose
Love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Everybody's got to pay some dues
[Verse 4]
Oh, i'm up to bat, to bat
I'm gonna try love one more time
I really love this girl
And i'm gonna make her mine
I ain't ever won
When I played a baseball game
Now it seems that love
And baseball are just the same
[Verse 5]
Strike one, oh she did it again
Strike two, looks like I'm never gonna win
Strike three, oh I was out, without a doubt, oh I was out
[Verse 6]
Love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Whether you win or lose
Love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Everybody's got to pay some dues
You got to pay some dues
[Verse 7]
Love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Three strikes you're out
Whether you win or lose
I said love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Everybody's got to pay some dues
Got to say it again
[Verse 8]
Love is just like a baseball game
Three strikes you're out
Three strikes you're out
Whether you win or lose
