Words like love and happiness. Never seem to stand up baby. When you put them 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. You gotta play it all by heart. Chorus:. Baby baby. baby baby. It happens all the time. How you play me play me play me. Playing with my mind. Baby baby baby baby. You're making me go crazy. And if you call that love. Then love should be a crime. Honesty. Bites the dust. Every time I hear you saying. Love was never lost 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. Chorus. Love should be a crime. You & me. Suddenly. We got nothing 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. Playing with my mind. Baby baby baby baby. You're making me go crazy. And if you call that love. and all it was. Was a pocket full of nothing. But a suicidal gun. If you call that love. Then love should be a crime.
