Words like love and happiness
Never seem to stand up baby
When you put 'em to the test, yea
You say that your a poet
That you loves a work of art
Well you can't play love by numbers
Baby, gotta play it all by heart
Baby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin' with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Makin' me go crazy
And if you call that love
Then love should be a crime
Honesty, bites the dust
Every time I hear you sayin', love is never lust, yea
Did you read it in a book?
Did you see it in a magazine?
Do you think that I'm some new age fool?
Do you think I'm so naive?
Baby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin' with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Makin' me go crazy
And if you call that love
Then love should be a crime
You and me, suddenly
We got nothing to say
But the words get in the way
Baby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin' with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Makin' me go crazy
And if you call that love then all it was
Was a pocket full of nothing but a suicidal love
And if you call that love then love should be a
Crime
