It's just emotion I've never had
Emotion is making me sad
It's just emotion, tying me down
It's just emotion, keeps me hanging around

It's the heat calling me
It's the need to be free
Yeah, yeah

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once, I've heard it all before
And now our lips are sealed

Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, ohh

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do

Disappointment is the final word
Devotion is back breaking work
Emotions are irrational
To ignore them would be critical

It's the heat calling me
It's the need to be free
Yeah, yeah

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once, I've heard it all before
And now our lips are sealed

Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, ohh

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do

Give me something I
Can depend on I
Give me something I
Can rely on, yeah

I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once, I've heard it all before
And now our lips are sealed

I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
