I JUST WANT TO PLAY

I JUST WANT TO PLAY

Love is what puts the world in a spin.

Love is what puts fear in grown men.

Love makes people go crazy every day.

That’s why when it comes to love, I just want to play.

Love is great for a bowl of guppies.

You can give your heart to sweet little puppies.

Or even an old hound on the stray.

But when it comes to love, I just want to play.

Love can make a man stand tall.

But when that love is gone, it’s such a long fall.

Love is the best feeling there is, but love will never stay.

That’s why when it comes to love, I just want to play.

In true love you have to be an open book.

The other person has to be able to read you to see if things cook.

Sometimes you open up and they don’t, so it just doesn’t pay.

That’s why when it comes to love, I just want to play.

When you put yourself out there for loves sake.

It gives the other person an advantage to take.

When you’re in love, sometimes it’s not easy to say.

That’s why when it comes to love, I just want to play.

When you’re in love and you give your heart,

Some people will take that as a weakness and tear it apart.

And when the love goes away, it just ends up in a big fray.

That’s why when it comes to love, I just want to play.

When love is good, you take a deep breath and sigh.

When love is bad, you just want to cry.

Love starts out like a flower in bloom, but without sunlight, it will wilt and decay.

That’s why when it comes to love, I just want to play.

Sometimes the game gets to be old.

It would really be nice to find just one that really knows my soul.

If I could find someone that knows the game and wants to play,

Then when it comes to love, I could play every day.
