Baby Plays Around Songtext / Lyric

Baby Plays Around

(Elvis Costello)



It's not open to discussion anymore

She's out again tonight

And I'm alone once more

She's all I have worth waiting for

But baby plays around



And so it seems

I've always been the last to know

To hold on to that girl

I had to let her go

I wish to God

I didn't love her so

Baby plays around






I try to be strong

Hold on to my pride

She doesn't even know it's wrong

How much I hurt Inside

And heaven knows I've tried

But baby plays around

Just a plaything

It's hard to reconcile

The facts I'm facing



It's not open to discussion anymore

She walks those shiny streets

I walk the worn out floor

She's all I have worth living for

Baby plays

Baby plays

Around
