All I had was guitar and vocals on this one and a few ideas. We tossed a few ideas against the wall and these are the ones which stuck. The boys did a wonderful job of taking it to the next level.
1st VERSE
You’ll never find out - who you are - if nothing ever shows.
You’ll never find out - what is love - If you go away, and let me stay here alone.
CHORUS
Don’t you play around - with love – Something tells me that it’s not so easy
(Come away, don’t you play)
To play around – with love – Soon enough, it gets tough to leave.
(What you say will, make you stay)
2nd VERSE
You’ll never find an – open arm - In places you roam
You’ll only find that – what you want – only comes from - someone who won’t
CHORUS
Play around - with love – Something tells me that it’s not so easy
(Come away, don’t you play)
To play around – with love – Soon enough, it gets tough to leave.
(What you say will, make you stay)
BRIDGE
It’s something that just won’t let it go – There’s something that just won’t let it show
There’s something that just won’t let it know – Something that just won’t let it go
It’s something that just won’t let it show – There’s something that just won’t let it know
It’s something that just won’t let it go – Something won’t ———
CHORUS
Let you play around - with love – Something tells me that it’s not so easy
To play around – with love – Soon enough, it gets tough
(What you say will, make you stay)
To play around - with love – Something tells me that it’s not so easy
(Come away, don’t you play)
To play around – with love – Soon enough, it gets tough - to leave.
(In the end, it gets tough)
Play Around, Play Around...
