The Bangles
"Make A Play For Her Now"


Words of comfort and love
Spoken in design
Turn cruel, unkind
You have your ready treasure of sin
And it all begins
With an innocent smile.

Go on...
Make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I bleed so slow
You may never know, wo-oh.

Whisper she is safe
That you sympathize
The darkest lies
When you know right now you'll be gone
At the kiss of dawn
Your conscience runs clear.

Go on...
Make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I bleed so slow
You may never know
Oh, and I won't make a sound
Hey, who am I to lay the blame
When it's all a game to you.

You and I misfired
Left me cold and tired
Hey love, it's alright.

Go on...
Make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I don't keep score (don't keep score)
No not anymore
Oh, and I won't make a sound
Hey, who am I to lay the blame
When it's just a game.

No, in the back of your mind
The pattern's starting to unwind
And you know you're alone (know you're alone)
Oh, and you smile anyhow
When the moment allows
Make a play for her now.
