Play For Keeps

i don't play to lose
don't play to win
just play for keeps
'cause where ever you're going's just where you've been
i don't play for me
don't play for you
i just played it for us
'cause i knew we both needed something knew
oh but honey you've gotta
understand
just 'cause i'm with you right
don't mean i wanna be your man
and i don't play for her
and i don't play for her
i just play 'em because i realize
it's the only cure
and i don't play for love
baby and i don't play for loss
i'm just playing for right now, but i'm trying to learn
how to get across
oh but honey you've gotta
understand
just 'cause i'm with you right
don't mean i wanna be your man

What's Done Is Done

what's done is done, and it's getting late
should i go, or should i stay?
well i know just what i wanna do
yeah get out of you bed, your house, and get away from you
well it seems just like a good idea sometimes
at the funky bar with such lines
and to say anything you've got to shout
and leaving with you was just the best way out
it's nine to five, it could be eight to ten
day in day out, all over again
like machine attuned tension and release
and sometimes the wheels just need a little bit of grease
and i think i've seen you somewhere before
t.v., magazine, i can't remember no more
everybody's just runnin together nowadays
and i guess it wasn't you, i guess it wasn't you anyways
i've got a girl up by the O.K. line
she lays me down good, eases the worried mine
it's up 35-north, i've got to see her soon
just me and the eighteen wheelers underneath that pale moon

Turn Me Out Again
04:00

i didn't know how hard i was trying not to go back home
til tonight you wouldn't let me in
i didn't know how hard i was trying not to end up alone
with the taste of your touch still lingering
i swear i could be just what you want
first you've gotta decide what you need the most
someone to be with you when somebody else cannot?
someone to remind you what you've already lost?
'cause i'd hate for you to end up as just another song
nothing worse than being stuck where you don't belong
oh no but i can't help it if
you let me in just to turn me out again
oh girl you can't believe every little thing you feel
way you're seeing it now, honey that don't last
ain't no taking back what time is gonna steal
it's all good, gone, and fading fast
don't know what's over there but now you're hear
don't know what happened then but this is now
i know what it's like when what's over and done seems so near
but you can forget if you just let me show you how...
'cause i'd hate for you to end up as just another song
nothing worse than being stuck where you don't belong
oh no but i can't help it if
you let me in just to turn me out again

Your Mystery Is History

your mystery is history
gotcha all figured out, gotcha on the ropes ready to knock out
you've got your game, your local fame
too easy to lay bare, too easy for me to care
but i wouldn't wanna slow you down
taking time to mow you down
some people can't get enough of the way like to play it rough
some people don't wanna win, don't care where they know you've been
but i ain't gonna play just to keep playing
ain't gonna pretend to care what you're saying
ain't gonna let you do to me the lies that make you feel so free
do you think you could ever stand not being so in demand
not being so beautiful, not being so predictable?
well i know you don't, and i know you won't
be the kind to last past noon or come back anytime soon
so i guess i'll see you around
it's alright if you've gotta run, while it lasted it was fun
i know it's different in the sun, you can't disappear into no one
but i ain't gonna play just to keep playing
ain't gonna pretend to care what you're saying
ain't gonna let you do to me the lies that make you feel so free

oh baby how do you do it without saying a word?
oh, that must be how i blew it, trusting things i never heard
on a hook and you know it, ain't no point to pretend
i know i can't help but show it, guess i'm yours to break or bend
but just like a man with nowhere to go and no one else around
first thing you see, first thing you follow, honey you're just the one i found
oh but it's nothin if you're just telling lies
and it's nothin if you're just making eyes
'cause it's nothin but what i wanna do
to you, to myself
one more way of moving on to someone else
you can hide behind your leather, you can hide behind your hair
you can rope with that tether, you can hold me with a stare
'cause i've sure been dragged along for worse rides with a lot less to look at
i heard it said sometimes your love hides, i hope this ain't like that
oh but it's nothin if you're just telling lies
and it's nothin if you're just making eyes
'cause it's nothin but what i wanna do
to you, to myself
one more way of moving on to someone else
well i don't care what you say long as you ain't saying goodbye
but if you've gotta go away, you can't tell me i didn't try
but i thought your being here spoke for itself, i guess i don't know why
far as i could see there wasn't no one else, so why'd you leave me high and dry?
oh but it's nothin if you're just telling lies
and it's nothin if you're just making eyes
'cause it's nothin but what i wanna do
to you, to myself
one more way of moving on to someone else
