Back On Base - Sally Mayes

作词：David Shire

作曲：Richard Maltby Jr /David Shire

My scattered life had no foundation

Couldn't seem to find my space

Then all at once came inspiration

Now I'm back on base

My baby plays a line that subtle

Yet it makes the strongest case

An argument with no rebuttal

Got me back on base

When his fingers touch my strings

I tingle to my teeth

I seem to sing the wildest things

When he is underneath

The only worm that's in this Eden

The only snag in all this lace

Is where I stand ain't easy reading

When he's back on base

At times he seems a bit elusive

Way off in his private place

I guess he can't be mine exclusive

When he's back on base

He's got eyes for something tall

So maybe I should go

Then once more my defenses fall

When he gets down below oh oh oh oh oh oh

So what if he don't feel like talkin'

I'll just let him play his ace

And let his fingers do the walkin'

Till I'm back on

Always back on

So happy back on base

We make sweet music when we're both back on base
