Tender

Don't play with me
Don't stay with me
Don't play with me unless it's for real
(Don't stay with me unless it's for real)
Don't stay with me unless it's for real
(Don't play with me 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 againIn 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 trueSo don't play with me unless it's for real
So don't stay with me unless it's for realHere 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 againIn my mind I live in California
In my mind I spent some time with you
I watch the sun light up the ocean
And sit and pray that all my dreams come trueSo don't play with me unless it's for real
So don't stay with me unless it's for realI'll take a chance give it one more try
A second glance make me realize
That all I need is a master plan
And find a world that can understandDon't play with me unless it's for real
Don't stay with me unless it's for real
So don't play with me unless it's for real
(So don't stay with me unless it's for real)
So don't stay with me unless it's for real
(So don't play with me unless it's for real)
So don't play with meSo don't play with me, alright
