Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whoo
Say it was the right time
To walk away
But dreaming takes you nowhere
It's time to play
[Verse 2]
Bodies working overtime
Your money don't matter
The time keeps tickin'
Someone's on your mind
On your mind
[Verse 3]
I'm movin' in slow motion
Feels so good
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knockin' on wood
[PreChorus]
Bodies working overtime
It's man against man
And all that ever matters is
Baby, who's ahead in the game
Funny, but it's always the same
[Chorus]
Playin', playin' with the boys
Stayin', playin' with the boys (Boys)
After chasin' sunsets
One of life's simple joys
It's playin' with the boys
Whoo-ooh-ooh
[Verse 4]
Said it was the wrong thing
For me to do
I said, "It's just a boy's game
But, girls play, too"
[PreChorus]
My heart is working overtime
This kind of game
People get hurt
I'm thinkin' that the people is me
If you wanna find me, I'll be
[Chorus]
Playin', playin' with the boys
Stayin', playin' with the boys (Boys)
After chasin' sunsets
One of life's simple joys (Is the boys)
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be the moth around your fire (With the boys)
I don't wanna be obsessed by my desire (You're shining, you're smiling, I'll see it now)
With the boys
I'm staying here, you play too rough
[Chorus]
Playin', playin' with the boys
I'll be stayin', playin' with the boys (With the boys)
After chasin' sunsets (Sunsets)
One of life's simple joys
Is playin' with the boys
[Outro]
Playin' with the boys
Whoo-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Playin' (Playin' with the boys)
Playin' (Playin' with the boys)
Playin' (Playin' with the boys)
Playin', ooh (Playin' with the boys)
