(Don't play with me)
(Don't stay with me)
CHORUS 1
Don't play with me (don't stay with me)
Unless it's for real (unless it's for real)
Don't stay with me (don't play with me)
Unless it's for real (unless it's for real)
All I had
Was one sure thing
In my life
I lost it all
But I just couldn't see
A reason to believe
If only I could try
And start again
BRIDGE
In my mind I live in California
In my mind I spent some time with you
I watch the Sun light up the ocean
I sit and pray that all my dreams come true
CHORUS 2
So don't play with me
Unless it's for real
So don't stay with me
Unless it's for real
Here I stand
And here I fall
A clear blue sky
Looks down on me
And this once tender man
Has done the best he can
But just can't find a way
To start again
BRIDGE
CHORUS 2
I'll take a chance
Give me one more try
A second glance
Make me realise
That all I need
Is a master plan
And find a world
That can understand
CHORUS 2
CHORUS 1
So don't play with me
(In other words, it was don't play with me, alright)
