lyrics

I COULD NEVER PLAY FOR KEEPS

You're on time
All mine
Promises that are sure to fade away
Too late
You're on the take
Should have saved for a rainy day
But when the truth hits ground
I'll be the first and last to say...

I could never play for keeps now honey
I could never play for keeps
You can give me all your lines and money
But I could never play for keeps

The soft sell - kiss and tell
At least you sharpen the blade before you strike
Your great feel - big deal!
Do what you can just to be polite
But when the truth hits ground
I'll be the first and last to say...

I could never play for keeps now honey
I could never play for keeps
You can give me all your lines and money
But I could never play for keeps

I could never play it your way
when the joker's on a roll
Capsized emotions
You hurt me and yourself along with everyone else

When the truth hits ground
I'll be the first and last to say...
Yeah, when the truth hits ground
I'll be the first and last to say...

I could never play for keeps now honey
I could never play for keeps
You can give me all your lines and money
But I could never play for keeps

I could never play for keeps now honey
I could never play for keeps
You can give me all your lines and money
But I could never play for keeps

No way!
