Lyrics The Bangles

The Bangles

Make a Play for Her Now

Words of comfort and love

Spoken in design

Turn cruel, unkind

You have your ready treasures of sin

And it all begins

With an innocent smile

Go on, make a play for her now

While I'm standing here

I bleed so slow

You may never know

Whisper she is safe

That you sympathize

The darkest lies

When you know right now you'll be gone

At the kiss of dawn

Your conscience runs clear

Go on, make a play for her now

While I'm standing here

I bleed so slow

You may never know

And I won't make a sound

Who am I to lay the blame

When it's all a game to you

You and I misfired

Left me cold and tired

Hey love it's alright

Go on, make a play for her now

While I'm standing here

I don't keep score

No not anymore

And I won't make a sound

Hey, who am I to lay the blame

When it's just a game

In the back of your mind

The pattern's starting to unwind

And you know you're alone

Oh, but you smile anyhow

When the moment allows

Make a play for her now
