  • Its just emotion
    I've never had
    Emotion
    Is makin' me sad
    Emotion
    Tying me down
    It's just emotion
    Keeps me hangin' around

    It's the he, e, eeeat
    Calling me, e, eee
    It's the ne, e, e, eed
    To be free
    Yeah, yeah

    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 are lips are sealed
    Told you I'd never lie to you
    You want something different
    Something new, oooooh
    I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
    And there is nothing you can do

    Disappointment
    Is the final word
    Devotion
    Is back breaking work
    Emotions
    Are irrational
    But to ignore them
    Would be critical

    It's the he, he, eeeat
    Calling me, e, eee
    It's the ne, e, eeed
    To be free
    Yeah, yeah

    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 are lips are sealed
    Told you I'd never lie to you
    You want something different
    Something new, ooooooh
    I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
    And there is nothing you can do

    Give me something I, I, I, I, I
    Can depend on I, I, I
    Give me something I, I, I, I, I
    Can rely on
    Yeah

    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 are lips are sealed

    I don't wanna play for keeps
    I don't wanna play for keeps
    I don't wanna play for keeps any more
    And there is nothing you can do
    Do
    Oooh
    Oooh
