Words like love and happiness

Never seem to stand up baby

When you put 'em to the test yea

You say that your a poet, that you loves a work of art

Well you can't play love by numbers baby gotta play it all by heart



Baby, baby, baby, baby

It happens all the time

How you play me, play me, play me

Playin with my mind

Baby, baby, baby, baby

makin me go crazy

And if you call that love then love should be a crime



Honesty, bites the dust

Everytime I hear you sayin, love is never lust yea

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



Baby, baby, baby, baby

It happens all the time

How you play me, play me, play me

Playin with my mind

Baby,baby, baby, baby

Makin me go crazy

And if you call that love then love should be a crime



You and 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

Playin with my mind

Baby, baby, baby, baby

Makin me go crazy

And if you call that love then all it was

Was a pocket full of nothing but a suicidal love

And if you call that love then love should be a...

Crime
