Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's just emotion
I've never had
Emotion
Is making me sad
It's just emotion
Tying me down
Emotion
Keeps me hanging around
[Verse 2]
It's the heat
Calling me
It's the need
To be free
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now our lips are sealed
Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, oh
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do
[Verse 4]
Disappointment
Is the final word
Devotion
Is back breaking work
Emotions
Are irrational
To ignore them
Would be critical
[Verse 5]
It's the heat
Calling me
It's the need
To be free
Yeah
[Verse 6]
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now our lips are sealed
Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, oh
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do
[Verse 7]
Give me something, I
Can depend on, I
Give me something, I
Can rely on, yeah
[Verse 8]
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now our lips are sealed
[Verse 9]
I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do
[Verse 10]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
