You say the same things over and over
Get excited but you keep your composure
You say she's beautiful, the only thing's that real
But your words say nothing you feel
Convince yourself that she's right for now
About her dreams, she gotta get off somehow
When it comes to the morning you are feeling the same
You only love her when she's screaming your name
How many times will you lose it just to know you had it
How many hearts will be broken in the aftermath and
How many people really take to make you understand
That love is not a game
Still play the fool
You play the fool, play it baby
Play the fool
Play the fool
Oh did you think you were wrong?
Giving her one too many lies on the load
She had far too much love
To be wasted on you
Should have kept it locked away for another lover
And you said I don't want to be alone
I can't make it on my own
You said I don't want to be alone
I can't make it on my own
How many times will you lose it just to know you had it
How many hearts will be broken in the aftermath and
How many people really take to make you understand
That love is not a game
Still play the fool
You play the fool, play it baby
Play the fool
Play the fool
