Baby Plays Around

Elvis Costello · Original Album Series [2012]

Its 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

cuz baby plays around



I try to be strong

Hold onto my pride

She doesn't even know it's wrong

how much I hurt inside

and heaven know 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 livin' for

Baby plays

Baby plays

A-round
