Play Your Part Lyrics

Ooo, ooo, oh yeah
Oh yeahCan you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone elseYou seem to have an important part, the leading role of my heart
You played it well, a long time ago, until I started falling in love
And then you changed your character and avoided all of your lines
Now the man I love is gone, now, can you play his part of this jive?Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone elseLove is like a see-saw, it takes two in order for it to work
I working hard, I'm playing my part, but the scene still won't work
And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong
So I'll find someone who loves me and who can play your part for lifeI deserve a lot better than this
And I'm tired of acting like
It's okay for me to give you my love
Recieve nothing back in returnCan you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?

Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone elseCan you pretend to be the man I should have been with?
Can we make the life you know I should have had?
Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care
Or I'll have to give the part to someone elseElse
