Baby Plays Around by Elvis Costello

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
'cos 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
