Elvis Costello Baby Plays Around

Its 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
cuz baby plays around

I try to be strong
Hold onto my pride
She doesn't even know it's wrong
how much I hurt inside
and heaven know 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 livin' for
Baby plays
Baby plays
A-round
