I'm playing for keeps
This time it's real
And I want you to know
Exactly how I feel
I'm playing for keeps
For sure this time
And I won't be happy
Until I know you're mine
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
Can thrill me like you do
I'm playing for keeps
Or love me too
Oh don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
Can thrill me like you do
I'm playing for keeps
Or love me too
Oh don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you
In love with you
