I Play for Keeps Lyrics


Well, I play for keeps, baby
Said I play for keeps now
And once we get together
It's got to last foreverNow I won't let you love me
Turn around and snub me
Then shove me to the side
'Cause I've become accustomed
To having your sweet loving, baby
I won't be deniedAnd just as long as the flowers grow
Raindrops fall and the four winds blow
You've got to keep loving me and don't let go'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby
Said I play for keeps now
And once we get together
It's got to last forever nowYou can have the soul of me
You got complete control of me
But you can love me just for a little while
You leave me cryin', cryin' like a baby childBut I don't want no one night man
To take me out on no one night stand

You've got to be a rest of my life man'Cause I play for keeps, baby, yes I do
I play for keeps now
And once we get together
Oh, it's got to last foreverIf I can't have the soul of you
Then I don't want no part of you
'Cause if you can't love me forever and a day
Then you might as well go away'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby, yes I do
I play for keeps now
Said I don't want no one night man
Said I can't stand the one night stand, no, no'Cause I play for keeps, baby

Carla Thomas (born December 21, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee) is often referred to as the Queen of Memphis Soul. At the age of 17, she recorded a duet with her father Rufus Thomas, "Because I Love You" , which became a Southern hit and gave the Satellite label (later Stax Records) its first real success. In 1961 she rose to national prominence with "Gee Whiz (Look in His Eyes)", which reached the Top Ten in both the R&B and Pop categories, becoming the first Memphis soul record to have an impact nationwide and insuring the success of the Stax Records label.
