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 lust, yeah
  Did you read it in a book?
  Did you see it in a magazine?
  Do you think that I'm some new age fool?
  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 gun
  If you call that love then love...should be a ... crime
