Lyrics Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello

Baby Plays Around

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

'Cos 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
