Words of comfort and love Spoken in design Turn cruel, unkind You have your ready treasures of sin And it all begins With an innocent smile Go on, make a play for her now While I'm standing here I bleed so slow You may never know Whisper she is safe That you sympathize The darkest lies When you know right now you'll be gone At the kiss of dawn Your conscience runs clear Go on, make a play for her now While I'm standing here I bleed so slow You may never know And I won't make a sound Who am I to lay the blame When it's all a game to you You and I misfired Left me cold and tired Hey love it's alright Go on, make a play for her now While I'm standing here I don't keep score No not anymore And I won't make a sound Hey, who am I to lay the blame When it's just a game In the back of your mind The pattern's starting to unwind And you know you're alone Oh, but you smile anyhow When the moment allows Make a play for her now
