Playing for Keeps Lyrics & Tabs by Beaver Nelson
Playing for Keeps
guitar chords lyrics
If you don't like me
How you gonna love me
If you can't stand beside me
How you gonna stand above me
When I'm falling down
And I hit the ground
Are you playing for keeps
Or are you just playing around
There's a high road to China
And all roads lead to roam
But there's no road finer
Than the one that takes you home
They say that's where the heart is
Mine just goes from town to town
Are you playing for keeps
They say that's where the heart is
Mine just goes from town to town
Are you playing for keeps
Or are you just running around
Didn't your Mama teach you something
About thinking twice before you let the words fall
Didn't your Papa tell you nothing
If you can't say something nice to me
Don't say anything at all
There's brown boys playing horseshoes
And black boys playing craps
There's white boys playing eight ball
There's a trumpet playing taps
Oh, can you hear the sound
As the sun goes down
Is it playing for keeps
Or is it just playing around
If you don't like me
How you gonna love me
If you can't stand beside me
How you gonna stand above me
When I'm falling down
And I hit the ground
Are you playing for keeps
Or are you just playing around
