Plastic Love

Plastic Love

1. Plastic Love

Plastic Love

(verse 1)

a surprising kiss on the lips for ya

shying away is a defense, yeah

you're always straddling the picket fence

tell me which side has grass that's greener

our first meeting bloomed with passion

then died cruelly but with persuasion

you snuck your way back in

with a touch, don't hurry

I gave you enthusiasm

you shot it down with sarcasm

he must want me to be aloof, no?

he can't handle my cold shoulder

dancing at the discotheque

oh darling, I've forgotten you already

but if you can't hold it steady then... I'm sorry

(chorus)

you and me are the checkered board's king and queen

constantly at odds and splitting all of the ends

this struggle for power in and out of the bedroom

is boring me, I hope it's over soon

you know I'm a mastermind and you're out of your mind

always two steps ahead while you're still in your damn bed

why doesn't this just end and we'll just be friends?

(end chorus)

(chorus)

you and me are rolling the credits after the ending scene

the theater's empty, and it's still dark so you can't see

I'm leaving you in the dust and riding off into the sunset

you grit your teeth, your match has been met

the glass of whisky you just filled is empty

your tears from sadness begin to seer with anger

all because you wouldn't be a man for her

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

maybe you'll see a new man in her town car

the thought is scary so you call her

the message from the machine greets you

who knows what things she's out to pursue?

you fooled her once, but she's too smart to lose the same game twice

if only you had just played nice, don't worry

(chorus)

I'm just playing games

I know that's plastic love

dance to the plastic beat

another morning comes

I'm just playing games

I know that's plastic love

dance to the plastic beat

another morning comes

I'm just playing games

I know that's plastic love

dance to the plastic beat

another morning comes

(end chorus)
