Baby plays around

Baby Plays Around
(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
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
