Words like love and happiness
Never seem to stand up baby
When you put 'em to the test yea
You say that your a poet, that you loves a work of art
Well you can't play love by numbers baby gotta play it all by heart
Baby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Makin me go crazy
And if you call that love then love should be a crime
Honesty, bites the dust
Everytime I hear you sayin, love is never lust yea
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
Playin with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Makin me go crazy
And if you call that love then love should be a crime
You and me, suddenly
We got nothing to say
But the words get in the way
Baby, baby, baby, baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin with my mind
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Makin me go crazy
And if you call that love then all it was
Was a pocket full of nothing but a suicidal love
And if you call that love then love should be a
Crime
