Words like love and happiness

Never seem to stand up baby

When you put them to the test, yeah

You say that you're a poet

That your love's a work of art

But you can't play love by numbers baby

You gotta play it all by heart



Chorus:

Baby, baby. baby, baby

It happens all the time

How yo play me, play me, play me

Playing with my mind

Baby, baby, baby, baby

You're making me go crazy

And if you call that love

Then love should be a crime



Honesty

Bites the dust

Every time I hear you saying

Love was never lost, yeah

Did you read it in a book

Did you see it in a magazine

Do you think that I'm some new age fool

Do you think I'm so naive



Chorus



Love should be a crime

You & me

Suddenly

We got nothing to say

But the words get in the way



Baby baby, baby, baby

It happens all the time

How you play me, play me, play me

Playing with my mind

You're making me go crazy

And if you call that love

Then all it was

Was a pocketful of nothing

But a suicidal love

If you call that love

Then love should be a crime
