SPEEDIN' BACK TO MY BABY
Ace Frehley, Jeanette Frehley
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] (4x)
I'm drivin' down the road, doin' 95 miles per hour, oh yeah
My radio's blastin' and I'm passin' cars faster and faster, aha
I'm feelin' kinda down 'cos I left her with a frown, my baby, oh yeah
We always seem to fight when things are goin' right and maybe, aha
[Rhy. Fig 5]
Maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop
Maybe I should turn around
[Rhy. Fig 6] (4x)
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
[Rhy. Fig 7]
[Rhy. Fig 5]
You know, maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop
Maybe I should turn around
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] (4x)
I'm lookin' for a station, 'cos there's no acceleration to get back, oh yeah
My gage is showin' red and my battery's dead, I'd better find one fast
The whole thing began 'cos I saw her with a man, my baby, oh yeah
I really wouldn't mind, but you know I've got my pride to think of, aha
[rhy. Fig 5]
Maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop, maybe I should turn around
[Rhy. Fig 6] (4x)
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
[Rhy. Fig 7]
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] (2x)
I found me a station, now I got acceleration to get back, oh yeah
She's my only girl and to me she's just the world, so maybe, aha
[Rhy. Fig 5]
Maybe I should turn around, maybe I should stop, maybe I should turn around
[Rhy. Fig 6] (4x)
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
Speedin' back to my baby, and I don't mean maybe
(repeat and fade)
