Plaything

(Billy Walker)



Like a child with a toy I was your plaything

But it filled my heart with joy to be your plaything

Everybody knows how the story goes

You took your little toy and broke its heart strings.



Like a little bitty boy loves his mother

I needed you and could love no other

Now that I've lost you to somebody new

Look at your little toy your broken plaything.



You just used me as you needed me

The toy that you could leave easily

I was to-love-you all the time

While your heart never was to-be-mine.



And like a child with a toy I was your plaything

But it filled my heart with joy to be your plaything

Everybody knows how the story goes

You took your little toy and broke its heart strings.

While your heart never was to-be-mine.



And like a child with a toy I was your plaything

But it filled my heart with joy to be your plaything

Everybody knows how the story goes

You took your little toy and broke its heart strings...
