Travel down the road of heartache Hear an echo in my mind I've played with fire Burned my fingers Now I'm gonna take my time You don't have to shout about it Can't you see it obvious Feel (? ) it's getting close to comfort Why you makin' such a fuss? Take your time with What you're doin' And you'll see the skies appear Seen and heard it all before her Now you understand my fear Can't you see the time will tell us How it's gonna always be You can wrap me Around your finger And I ain't no mystery Playing for time That's all I can do I'm playing for time Before I fall in love with you You can push me every which way Hey I got no place to fall Guess you're gonna rue your bullshit When your back's against the wall Louder now that's what the games go(???? ) And I bought the devil now(??? ) You can get to dream about it I won't need one anyhow Playing for time That's all I can do Playing for time Before I fall in love Playing for time That's all I wanna do Playing for time Before I fall in love Oh, you don't have to shout about it Can't you see it obvious Feel it's getting close for comfort Why you making such a fuss? Travel down the road of heartache Hear an echo my mind Played with fire, burned my fingers Now I'm gonna take my time Playing for time Before I fall in love with you Playing for time That's all I want to do Playing for time Before I fall Playing for time All I wanna do Playing for time ...
