Like A Champion
The Baseballs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a side show freak in
The cirque du so lame
Always the last one left
When they're picking their teams
I thought that pretty girls lived
Just to crush my dreams
Yeah you knocked me out the ballpark
Ran me round the bases
An' every single time we touch
It's like I hit a home run for the Red Sox
Scored a touch down i'm in the sweet spot
Baby let me be your MVP
I'm a champion when you're on my team
Like a Slam dunk for the Allstars
Win the Indie 500 in my beat up ol' car
Top spot I'm the worldwide number one
You make me feel like a champion
Cha-, cha-, cha-, champion
I gotta pinch myself when you
Tell me you're mine
It's like I score the Super
Bowl winner in extra time
Let's take a champagne shower as
We lift the cup
Cos you shaking my bubbles and
You make me go pop
Since you came along i can do no wrong
Yeah you knocked me out the ballpark
Ran me round the bases
An' every single time we touch
It's like I hit a home run for the Red Sox
Scored a touch down i'm in the sweet spot
Baby let me be your MVP
I'm a champion when you're on my team
Like a Slam dunk for the Allstars
Win the Indie 500 in my beat up ol' car
Top spot I'm the worldwide number one
You make me feel like a champion
Like a champion cha-, cha-, cha-, champion
You're my Grand slam, undefeated
I'll always play straight, I never cheated
Cos I'll come running like a lightning bolt
When you say ready set go go go!
It's like I hit a home run for the Red Sox
Scored a touch down i'm in the sweet spot
Baby let me be your MVP
I'm a champion when you're on my team
Like a Slam dunk for the Allstars
Win the Indie 500 in my beat up ol' car
Top spot I'm the worldwide number one
You make me feel like a champion
