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
