Tender

(Don't play with me)

(Don't stay with me)

CHORUS 1

Don't play with me (don't stay with me)

Unless it's for real (unless it's for real)

Don't stay with me (don't play with me)

Unless it's for real (unless it's for real)

All I had

Was one sure thing

In my life

I lost it all

But I just couldn't see

A reason to believe

If only I could try

And start again

BRIDGE

In my mind I live in California

In my mind I spent some time with you

I watch the Sun light up the ocean

I sit and pray that all my dreams come true

CHORUS 2

So don't play with me

Unless it's for real

So don't stay with me

Unless it's for real

Here I stand

And here I fall

A clear blue sky

Looks down on me

And this once tender man

Has done the best he can

But just can't find a way

To start again

BRIDGE

CHORUS 2

I'll take a chance

Give me one more try

A second glance

Make me realise

That all I need

Is a master plan

And find a world

That can understand

CHORUS 2

CHORUS 1

So don't play with me

(In other words, it was don't play with me, alright)
