Words like love and happiness
Never seem to stand up, Baby
When you put ´em to the test, yeah
You say that you´re a poet
That your love´s a work of art
But you can´t play love by numbers, Babe
Gotta play it all by heart

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin´ with my mind
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You´re makin´ me go crazy (Ah ah ah ah...)
And if you all that love, then love should be a crime

Honesty bites the dust
Everytime I hear you sayin´
That love is never lost, yeah
Did you read it in a book?
Did you see it in a magazine?
Do you think that I´m some new expo?
Do you think I´m so naive?

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin´ with my mind
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You´re makin´ me go crazy (Ah ah ah ah...)
And if you all that love, then love should be a crime

Love should be a crime...

You and me
Suddenly
We got nothin´ to say
But the words get in the way

Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
It happens all the time
How you play me, play me, play me
Playin´ with my mind
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
You´re makin´ me go crazy (Ah ah ah ah...)
And if you call that love, then all it was was a pocket full of nothing but a suicidal cause
And if you call that love then love should be a... crime
