Never seem to stand up baby 
 When you put 'em to the test yea 
 You say that your a poet, that you loves a work of art 
 Well you can't play love by numbers baby gotta play it all by heart 
  
 Baby, baby, baby, baby 
 It happens all the time 
 How you play me, play me, play me 
 Playin with my mind 
 Baby, baby, baby, baby 
 makin me go crazy 
 And if you call that love then love should be a crime 
  
 Honesty, bites the dust 
 Everytime I hear you sayin, love is never lust yea 
 Did you read it in a book did you see it in a magazine 
 Do you think that I'm some new age fool, do you think I'm so naive 
  
 Baby, baby, baby, baby 
 It happens all the time 
 How you play me, play me, play me 
 Playin with my mind 
 Baby,baby, baby, baby 
 Makin me go crazy 
 And if you call that love then love should be a crime 
  
 You and me, suddenly 
 We got nothing to say 
 But the words get in the way 
  
 Baby, baby, baby, baby 
 It happens all the time 
 How you play me, play me, play me 
 Playin with my mind 
 Baby, baby, baby, baby 
 Makin me go crazy 
 And if you call that love then all it was 
 Was a pocket full of nothing but a suicidal love 
 And if you call that love then love should be a... 
 Crime
