I Play For Keeps |
| Well, I play for keeps, baby |
| Said I play for keeps now |
| And once we get together |
| It’s got to last forever |
| Now I won’t let you love me |
| Turn around and snub me |
| Then shove me to the side |
| 'Cause I’ve become accustomed |
| To having your sweet loving, baby |
| I won’t be denied |
| And just as long as the flowers grow |
| Raindrops fall and the four winds blow |
| You’ve got to keep loving me and don’t let go |
| 'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby |
| Said I play for keeps now |
| And once we get together |
| It’s got to last forever now |
| You can have the soul of me |
| You got complete control of me |
| But you can love me just for a little while |
| You leave me cryin', cryin' like a baby child |
| But I don’t want no one night man |
| To take me out on no one night stand |
| You’ve got to be a rest of my life man |
| 'Cause I play for keeps, baby, yes I do |
| I play for keeps now |
| And once we get together |
| Oh, it’s got to last forever |
| If I can’t have the soul of you |
| Then I don’t want no part of you |
| 'Cause if you can’t love me forever and a day |
| Then you might as well go away |
| 'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby, yes I do |
| I play for keeps now |
| Said I don’t want no one night man |
| Said I can’t stand the one night stand, no, no |
| 'Cause I play for keeps, baby |
