Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, I could play with Tom, Dick and Harry

But for me you're the only one

Who makes me shiver

Makes me tingle

And who brings my loving down

I play the love game

Before I met him

It's a game I always won

But now you set my soul on fire

And I really had my fun

[Verse 2]

With all the boy friends

The good times with friends

I still had to walk this road all by myself

I was that play girl

A careless gay girl

But I put them all on the shelf

I found my true love

With you forever

And my life has just begun

'Cause now you set my soul on fire

And I really had my fun

[Verse 3]

Goodbye to play boys

Hey boys

Goodbye to everyone but you my love

But no more heartaches

No more heart breaks

I swear by all the stars above

Welcome home my soul

My love my heart

Yes you done from now

'Cause now you set my soul on fire

And I really had my fun
