Words like love and happiness Never seem to stand up, baby When you put them to the test, yeah You say that you're a poet That your line's a work of art But you can't relate love by numbers, baby Gotta play it off by heart Baby, baby, baby, baby It happens all the time How you play me, play me, play me Playing with my mind Baby, baby, baby, baby You're making me go crazy And if you call that love enough It should be a crime Honesty Bites the dust Every time I hear you saying That love is never lost, yeah Did you read it in a book? Did you see it in a magazine? Do you think that I'm some new age fool? Do you think I'm so naive? Baby, baby, baby, baby It happens all the time How you play me, play me, play me Playing with my mind Baby, baby, baby, baby You're making me go crazy And if you call that love enough It should be a crime Love, love, love, love Love should be a crime You and me, suddenly We got nothing to say But the word get in the way Baby, baby, baby, baby It happens all the time How you play me, play me, play me Playing with my mind Baby, baby, baby, baby You're making me go crazy And if you call that love enough It was, was a pocket full of nothing But a suicidal gun If you call that love enough Love should be a crime
