Baby Plays Around Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
