Words like love and happiness

Never seem to stand up, Baby

When you put 'em to the test, yeah

You say that you're a poet

That your love's a work of art

But you can't play love by numbers, Babe

Gotta play it all by heart

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

It happens all the time

How you play me, play me, play me

Playin' with my mind

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

You're makin' me go crazy (Ah ah ah ah...)

And if you all that love, then love should be a crime

Honesty bites the dust

Everytime I hear you sayin'

That love is never lost, yeah

Did you read it in a book?

Did you see it in a magazine?

Do you think that I'm some new expo?

Do you think I'm so naive?

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

It happens all the time

How you play me, play me, play me

Playin' with my mind

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

You're makin' me go crazy (Ah ah ah ah...)

And if you all that love, then love should be a crime

Love should be a crime...

You and me

Suddenly

We got nothin' to say

But the words get in the way

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

It happens all the time

How you play me, play me, play me

Playin' with my mind

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

You're makin' me go crazy (Ah ah ah ah...)

And if you call that love, then all it was was a pocket full of nothing but a suicidal cause

And if you call that love then love should be a ... crime
