Playing Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, she's a part time model
Giving me the cold shoulder
Too hot too hollow
How'd you get so cold, baby?
She's a part time model
Shameless weekend soldier
Too much to follow
Nobody will stop it baby
(Dead to bed)
I've been hanging from your words
I've been hanging from every word that you say
(Dead to bed)
I've been hanging from your wall
I've been hanging, I've been hanging, low key
I pray for all the wrong you could do to me
(You could do, oh, oh, oh), baby
Low key, I pray for all the wrong you could do to me
(You could do, oh, oh, oh)
That's why I stay low, like real low
'Cause baby I know I can't hold you down
Lay low, like real low
'Cause baby I know I won't hold ya down
Girl, how is you serious?
We can't act the same, around certain people
You're Hollywood curious
Addicted to fame, addicted to game
You got that experience, yeah
Girl why do you act like I ain't seen you naked?
This ain't almost famous, you ain't almost made it
One glass of champagne and she already faded
Yeah, she's a part time model
Giving me the cold shoulder
Too hot too hollow
How'd you get so cold, baby?
She's a part time model
Shameless weekend soldier
Too much to follow
Nobody will stop it baby
(Dead to bed)
I've been hanging from your words
I've been hanging from every word that you say
(Dead to bed)
I've been hanging from your wall
I've been hanging, I've been hanging, low key
I pray for all the wrong you could do to me
(You could do, oh, oh, oh), baby
Low key, I pray for all the wrong you could do to me
(You could do, oh, oh, oh)
That's why I stay low, like real low
'Cause baby I know I can't hold you down
Law low, like real low
'Cause baby I know I won't hold ya down
