You look at me sometimes as if
you know what’s inside my mind
And I can stand with the way
 I feel from day to day
Oh but when you turn away
it doesn’t matter what I try to say
Never sure just where I stand

So don’t play with
the one who loves you
Don’t tell lies to
the one who cares
No don’t you play
with the one who loves you
For the day may come
when I’m not there

One of these days you’ll find that
you’ve been left all alone far behind
And there’s no one to pick you up
when you’re down – so down
Yeah but there’s a chance for you to
do the things that love tells you too
Here I am reaching out to you

So don’t play with the
one who loves you
Don’t tell lies to the one who cares
No don’t you play with the
one who loves you
For the day may come when I’m not there

So don’t play with the
one who loves you
Don’t tell lies to the one who cares
No don’t you play with the
one who loves you
For the day may come
when I’m not there

So don’t play with the
one who loves you
Don’t tell lies to the one who cares
Don’t you play with the
one who loves you
For the day may come
when I’m not there
