Baby, don't let me down
Don't tell me I'm wastin' time by hangin' round
Let the play begin
Give me somethin' I can get my rhythm in

Let the play begin

Baby, don't turn around
No, the stakes are too high out on the killing ground
Let the play begin
Let the curtain rise and let the play begin
Let the play begin

Baby, don't believe that I mean it
You need some lonely eyes of green
Way down in between it, now

Baby, don't turn away
Don't put me off until another day
Let the play begin
Give me somethin' I can get my rhythm in
Let the play begin

Baby, don't believe that I mean it
You need some lonely eyes of green
Way down in between it, now
