Play Your Part

Lyrics

[Intro] Ooh Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, yeah [Chorus] Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? Can we fake the life you know I should have had? Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care? Or I'll have to give the part to someone else [Verse 1] You seem to have an important part The lead role of my heart You played it well a long time ago Until I started falling in love And then, you changed your character And avoided all of your lines Now, the man I love is gone now Can you play his part at this time? [Chorus] Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? (That I should have been with, oh) Can we fake the life you know I should have had? (The life I should have had, should have had) Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care? (Really, really care) Or I'll have to give the part to someone else [Verse 2] Love is like a seesaw It takes two in order for it to work I'm working hard, I'm playing my part But the scene still won't work And rehearsals are long Because your timing is all wrong So I'll find someone who'll love me And who can play your part for life [Bridge] I deserve a lot better than this And I'm tired of acting like it's okay For me to give you my love And receive nothing back in return [Chorus] Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? Can we fake the life you know I should have had? (Yeah) Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care? (A better job of pretending that you really, really care) Or I'll have to give the part to someone else Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with? Can we fake the life you know I should have had? Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care? (A better job of pretending that you really, really care) Or I'll have to give the part to someone else, else
