I've been walked on I've been pushed around Dragged all over town And no hope to be found I've been caught up In every game there is to play Love never played out The way it should've And here you are telling me You think you've got love for me Well listen up baby Cause the love I've got to give is so sweet It don't come for free Are you hearing me? Better listen up baby If we're gonna play We're playing for keeps My heart is precious property Better listen to me Those that have come before They didn't see me for me Squandered the pearls of my love To them I was never enough But with you, my baby It's like a whole different song You make me wanna sing along Forget I've ever been done wrong And here you are telling me You think you've got love for me Well listen up baby Cause the love I've got to give is so sweet
It don't come for free Are you hearing me? Better listen up baby If we're gonna play We're playing for keeps My heart is precious property Better listen to me You better listen baby Cause I've played the fool Broken all my own rules And I won't let it happen again But if you change my mind I think we'll live to try So don't you mess with my head Listen up baby Listen up baby Cause the love I've got to give is so sweet It don't come for free Are you hearing me? Better listen up baby If we're gonna play We're playing for keeps My heart is precious property Better listen to me Listen to me Listen up baby If we're gonna play We're playing for keeps I've been walked on I've been pushed around Dragged all over town And no hope to be found
