„playing for keeps“ in Songtexten

If I can't let you go will darkness divide? For the fiction of love is the truth of our lies We were playing for keeps, but we both knew the cost Now the only way out's in your heart-shaped box

But I just can't take this You know I love you But I'm playing for keeps (You know I love you)

When you play with lives Don't you realize Now you are playing for keeps

You prayed to have Your name scattered on the lips of the young Now you claim That it's you on the tips of their tongue

From the thunder that came I was never the same And I would stop to think of what to do I was taking a leap I was playing for keeps with you

Beep, beep, we got the key to the streets You got the keys to my sheets Don't mind me, think I'm playing for keeps I see your body talking, what it saying to me

Whoever stands in the waiting room of love Knows it means playing for keeps But you ask yourself:

And I'm going to get it right now ‘Cuz nobody been handing it out Everyone know that I'm playing for keeps The quicker you get it the quicker you leave

Like the records I'm playing They might keep you waiting But you know I'm only playing for keeps

They're playing those Games Man, they're playing for keeps

What I feel I can't explain You're into darkness and chains I'm into playing for keeps I've seen your soul it's so sweet

This shit deep for real Deeper than what they see for real I'm playing for keeps for real Queen recognize queen for real, that's me for real, real

'Cause I've been looking for a lover who can make me feel The way you do, and now I've found you it's a real deal I've been playing the field, but I was playing for keeps And everywhere I seem to look I find a bunch of sheep

You got the juice here We can get loose and go wild, wild, wild Playing for keeps, yeah Don't want to waste time

I've been overmedicating, waiting, praying for peace I guess it's death or deliverance but it's not up to me 'Cause the devil's dealing cards and he's playing for keeps

And when I say these things I say them with peace This is falasteen the land we gon free And we ain't playing games we playing for keeps Hold up this is falasteen when I pull up, roll up

First blood is drawn Parry, riposte, defend We're playing for keeps And holding a losing hand

매일마다 주는 legendary verse 왕관의 무게를 버티는 게 습관이 됐어 하루살이 인생 언제나 playing for keeps 세계와 멀어지는 나의 days and weeks

It comes and goes, sitting in wings She first tease me, playing for keeps C'mon, give me a chance

I know you don't like playing nice But if you're playing for keeps You can skip the tricks on me
