I played for money I'd play for free I play to win sometimes I play to put my mind at ease I play my part in what seems an endless game I did not choose this but it's all that I can do I play along but this one song I play for you
I played for nothing I played it safe I won your trust but then you lost your heart to someone else I showed my cards and you played so hard to get now I'll take my chances 'cos what have I to loose (if I can' t have you) for right or wrong girl this here song I play for you
no rhyme or reason no why you broke the rules (and you left me feeling blue) no right or wrong just this one song I play for you (and only for you) and life goes on and this here song I play for you
