lyrics
she swung her arms around me and knocked my heart out of the park i watched it sail over the fence and was heard to remark i thought i was a player that all ends today where was she when we were picking teams? i threw everything at her but that didn't matter she busted my heart at the seams when she rounded the corner the crowd rose as one to its feet i watched her smile as she ran by and felt oddly at peace with defeat boys don't call me a quitter but there goes a hitter if ever a hitter i've seen gotta know who the boss is and when to cut your losses she'd win twenty out of nineteen you can take me out she had me at the crack of the bat i don't care if i never get back who'd'a thunk, who'd'a guessed it? i been blessed, i been bested getting licked fair and square ain't no shame that's the year, that's the season that's my career. she's un- believable, she's quite a dame. never been one for cheatin' 'cause i know when i'm beaten and i'm sorry boys, that's the game

i feel like i've finally got a solid entry in the "classic-sounding" "standard-aping" genre i've been stabbing blindly at for a while.
this demo is FAR from what this song deserves. let's hear it for silly keyboard loops with built-in bass lines! yeah! but i'm simply not a jazz drummer. i'm not really a jazz guitarist, either, especially in the attic at 31 degrees. yeek. apologies to the song and to ms. coleman.
