You Don't Play Me Around

(album: You Got What It Takes - 1967)

Well, now this happened once before
When you said goodbye
But I won't cry this occasion
I'm just gonna wave goodbye

I said
Love is a hard game to play
At the best of times
And this girl I had
I didn't know she was wasting my time

She just played me around
Every night and day
She just played me around
I didn't know what to say
She just played me around
She just played me around

I thought I'd found the one
Who truthfully would be my queen
Oh, but now I find
That all I am to her
Is her plaything

She just played me around
Every day and night
She just played me around
At first I just held on tight
I didn't know
She just played me around
She just played me around

Well, now I know
I know what this girl is really like
Yes, now I know
That she's only good for one night

I'll just have a good time
Tonight I'm leaving my car
I'll have a good time
Tonight I'll wave au revoir

She just played me around
She just played me around
