Elvis Costello Baby Plays Around song lyrics

It's not open to discussion anymore

She's out again tonight

And I'm alone once more

She's all I have worth waiting for

But baby plays around

And so it seems

I've always been the last to know

To hold on to that girl, I had to let her go

I wish to God, I didn't love her so

'Cause baby plays around

I try to be strong, hold on to my pride

She doesn't even know it's wrong

How much I hurt inside

And heaven knows I've tried

But baby plays around, just a plaything

It's hard to reconcile, the facts I'm facing

It's not open to discussion anymore

She walks those shiny streets

I walk the worn out floor

She's all I have worth living for

Baby plays, baby plays around
