Playing For Keeps

Falling for a guy's pain
wanting to play the game
thoughts passing day by day
Just one touch! 
Just one scream!
i play for pleasure
I play for keeps.
hearing songs of a man like you
Falling so tell me you do!
want to play for keeps too.
Not one day!
Not one week
 Months of play one or two days to meet
thoughts pass day after day.
Just one kiss 
Just one you, and one me 
I play for pain
 tearing my heart up in the rain.
 falling please tell me what to do!
wanting to play in my sleep.
Not in yours 
Not in mine,
 Months of a dream I keep.
