Background Vocals: R. Kelly
1 - Play on, play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, and on, and on
Boy what you do to me
I can't conceive
All I know is that I love you
But I've got to leave
Boy what did I ever do
To make you do the things you do
Drop the 4-1-1 for me
Here I am, boy
Come and talk to me
I need to know what's going on
With this love affair
Sick and tired of playin' games, boy
You're playin' with my heart
What we had was so together
Now you've torn it all apart, so
Repeat 1
2 - So play on, play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, and on, and on
I thought that you were mine
Gave you all my time
Boy you played me for a fool
Now there's one thing left to do
So play on
Boy, you should have told me
That you had somebody else across town
Oh boy, instead I heard it from a friend of mine
How could I be so blind
You took my love for granted
It's not the way I planned it
Oh boy, no explainations
Don't wanna hear no more lies
Or some phoney alibis, just
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Every night I wait for your love
To come around, boy
I want you so bad
Every day and night
What's the use of crying
I'm tired of trying
Repeat 2
Repeat 1
