Lyrics

It's 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
'Cause baby plays around
I try to be strong, hold on to my pride
She doesn't even know it's wrong
How much I hurt Inside and heaven knows 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 living for
Baby plays, baby plays around
Written by: Cait O'Riordan, Declan Macmanus
