  1 - Play on, play on, play on, play on
 
 Play on, play on, and on, and on
 
 Boy what you do to me 
 
 I can't conceive
 
 All I know is that I love you 
 
 But I've got to leave
  
 
 Boy what did I ever do
 
 To make you do the things you do
 
 Drop the 4-1-1 for me
 
 Here I am, boy
 
 Come and talk to me
  
 
 I need to know what's going on
 
 With this love affair
 
 Sick and tired of playin' games, boy
 
 You're playin' with my heart
 
 What we had was so together
 
 Now you've torn it all apart, so
  
 
 Repeat 1
  
 
 2 - So play on, play on, play on, play on
 
 Play on, play on, and on, and on
 
 I thought that you were mine
 
 Gave you all my time
 
 Boy you played me for a fool
 
 Now there's one thing left to do 
 
 So play on
  
 
 Boy, you should have told me
 
 That you had somebody else across town
 
 Oh boy, instead I heard it from a friend of mine
 
 How could I be so blind
  
 
 You took my love for granted
 
 It's not the way I planned it
 
 Oh boy, no explainations
 
 Don't wanna hear no more lies
 
 Or some phoney alibis, just
  
 
 Repeat 1
  
 
 Repeat 2
  
 
 Every night I wait for your love
 
 To come around, boy
 
 I want you so bad
 
 Every day and night
 
 What's the use of crying
 
 I'm tired of trying
  
 
 Repeat 2
  
 
 Repeat 1
