Baby Plays Around Songtext

von Elvis Costello

It's not open to discussion any more.
He's out again tonight
And I'm alone once more.
He'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 boy
I had to let him go.
I wish to God I didn't love him so,
'Cos baby plays around.

I try to be strong, to hold onto my pride.
He 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,
He walks those shiny streets,
I walk the worn-out floor.
He's all I have worth living for,
Baby plays,

Baby plays around.
