Please don't try to play my sympathies, I've
Got no time for your bag of tricks today,

Please don't play me, no sad songs
Please don't crave me, your life long
Dare not spite me, you'll be gone
Dare not cross me, I'm too strong
Too strong for words

Say what you will unto me,
Your words fall on deaf ears
Nothing you say could take me away,
Away from what I'm doing

Come into my den of iniquity,
Be so smooth with your words
To have your way

Please don't play me, no sad songs
Please don't crave me, your life long
Dare not spite me, you'll be gone
Dare not cross me, I'm too strong
Too strong for words

Say what you will unto me,
Your words fall on deaf ears
Nothing you say could take me away,
Away from what I'm doing

Now that you see the way I've got to be,
Nothing you say
Could convince me any other way,

Please don't play me, no sad songs
Please don't crave me, your life long
Dare not spite me, you'll be gone
Dare not cross me, I'm too strong
Too strong for words

Say what you will unto me,
Your words fall on deaf ears
Nothing you say could take me away,
Away from what I'm doing
