Playing With My Heart
Kate Voegele · A Fine Mess [2009]
Never hurt nobody
Never saw this coming
This side of me
I know where you're goin'
With your sugar-laced talkin'
And it wasn't too hard to see
You think you got me
Right where you want me
You think you got the whole story
I think that a proper fair warning
Might serve you well
So I'm here to tell you
It's not too late
To do yourself a favor
And walk away
Though I know that's never been your nature
By the way, you've put yourself in danger cause you're
Playing with my heart
Playing with my heart
You're playing with my heart
Every good girl's got a real good reason
To believe in breaking
All the rules sometimes
And I'm that girl baby, you're that reason
And your scheming
Has caused me to cross the line
You lie but I'm a pretty good liar
You chose a game I can play better
You're bright, oh, but baby, I'm clever
So you might as well
Let me tell you
Chorus
For Heaven's sake, what are you thinking baby?
You won't catch what you've been chasing
Trust me when I say I can keep you running
But I'm not coming oh, I won't come around
Chorus
