If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy Baby my time is too expensive And I'm not a little boy If you are serious Don't play with my heart It makes me furious But if you want me to love you Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will Tell it like it is Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide But I know deep down inside me I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride Life is too short to have sorrow You may be here today and gone tomorrow You might as well get what you want So go on and live, baby go on and live Tell it like it is I'm nothing to play with Go and find yourself a toy But I... Tell it like it is My time is too expensive and I'm not your little boy |

There's no need for you to worry about anything Who can say what the future gonna bring But if you worry about tomorrow It will only bring you sorrow Go out and have a good time For this world is so fine Go out and have a good time This world is so fine This world is so fine Hold your head up high Face the future with a smile Things'll be better It just takes a little while So when your feelin' low, down and out You're gonna shine without a doubt Go out and have a good time For this world is so fine Go out and have a good time This world is so fine This world is so fine Life is just what you make it Can be good or can be bad How can you miss something you never had When things go wrong don't forget There's no need for you to get upset Go out and have a good time For this world is so fine Go out and have a good time This world is so fine This world is so fine It's gonna be alright |

It was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance You've beat me to the girl that I always wanted You thought you had her brother but you still don't own her because I'm not through And there's nothing you can do You never had her She took you for a ride I know that it's a fact that you sneak behind my back Smiled in my face and deceived me with your lies, but I'm not through Oh, there's nothing you can do You never had her She took you for a ride But this is the part that you knew nothing of She confessed to me that she toyed with your love You were just a game, that she loved to play You never had her She took you for a ride All of her ecstasy that you had Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance You had her brother, you were my guest You pawned your broken heart just like all the rest And now you are through And there's nothing you can do You never had her She took you for a ride Was just imagination, the temptation that went to your head and now you are a victim of circumstance She took you for a ride |

You think you're so smart Yes, you think you know it all But the game you're trying to play Can be played another way And you see that, you never never had it so good 'till you met me I brought you to the city Now you tell me, there's no room for pity My friends tried to tell me so I told them they didn't know That lights have gone to your head You never never had it so good 'till you met, until you met me, oh until you met me No you never, you never, you never had it so good |
