Playing For Time

Uriah Heep


Travel down the road of heartache 
Hear an echo in my mind 
I've played with fire 
Burned my fingers 
Now I'm gonna take my time 
You don't have to shout about it 
Can't you see it obvious 
Feel (?) it's getting close to comfort 
Why you makin' such a fuss? 

Take your time with 
What you're doin' 
And you'll see the skies appear 
Seen and heard it all before her 
Now you understand my fear 
Can't you see the time will tell us 
How it's gonna always be 
You can wrap me 
Around your finger 
And I ain't no mystery 

Playing for time 
That's all I can do 
I'm playing for time 
Before I fall in love with you 

You can push me every which way 
Hey I got no place to fall 
Guess you're gonna rue your bullshit 
When your back's against the wall 
Louder now that's what the games go(?) 
And I bought the devil now(?) 
You can get to dream about it 
I won't need one anyhow 

Playing for time 
That's all I can do 
Playing for time 
Before I fall in love 
Playing for time 
That's all I wanna do 
Playing for time 
Before I fall in love 

Oh, you don't have to shout about it 
Can't you see it obvious 
Feel it's getting close for comfort 
Why you making such a fuss? 
Travel down the road of heartache 
Hear an echo my mind 
Played with fire, burned my fingers 
Now I'm gonna take my time 

Playing for time 
Before I fall in love with you 
Playing for time 
That's all I want to do 
Playing for time 
Before I fall 
Playing for time 
All I wanna do 
Playing for time ...
