Saturday you woke me up from a dream
Torn out of the pages of a magazine
REPEAT #1:
You got to play tough, my love (whoa)
You got to play cool (whoa)
You got to play tough, my love
When you play me for a fool
(When you play me for a...)
Saturday you woke me up into a drag
Peaches in the creases of a plastic bag
REPEAT #1
When you play me for a fool
A fool
A fool
When you play me for a...
Saturday is not the ideal day to break up
Don't you know it takes a little time to wake up
REPEAT #1
REPEAT #1
(For a fool
You fool
You fool
When you play me for a fool)
