Playing Hard
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.
I give a little good-bye wave
An I'm-in-control smile
Don't look like i care if i see you
I have in mind
Not to show what's inside
If that's what i must do to get you back
It doesn't seem to bother me
That all you say is, "hello"
It's only your whole life i want to know
But if i hold out long
You may think I'm strong
It maybe all i need to get you back
Chorus:
I'll play hard to get you a place where you once were
If you get there soon
I'll speak my mind i love you
And i would take you back
I'll leave you alone
I wont even call
Even though i cry holding my phone
If my plan succeeds
You'll be calling me
And i'll be there for you to get me back
solo
Chorus
