Its just emotion
I've never had
Emotion
Is makin' me sad
Emotion
Tying me down
It's just emotion
Keeps me hangin' around

It's the he, e, eeeat
Calling me, e, eee
It's the ne, e, e, eed
To be free
Yeah, yeah

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed
Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, oooooh
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do

Disappointment
Is the final word
Devotion
Is back breaking work
Emotions
Are irrational
But to ignore them
Would be critical

It's the he, he, eeeat
Calling me, e, eee
It's the ne, e, eeed
To be free
Yeah, yeah

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed
Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, ooooooh
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do

Give me something I, I, I, I, I
Can depend on I, I, I
Give me something I, I, I, I, I
Can rely on
Yeah

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed

I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps any more
And there is nothing you can do
Do
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
