I Play for Keeps - Lyrics - Carla Thomas

Well, I play for keeps, baby Said I play for keeps now And once we get together It's got to last forever Now I won't let you love me Turn around and snub me Then shove me to the side 'Cause I've become accustomed To having your sweet loving, baby I won't be denied And just as long as the flowers grow Raindrops fall and the four winds blow You've got to keep loving me and don't let go 'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby Said I play for keeps now And once we get together It's got to last forever now You can have the soul of me You got complete control of me But you can love me just for a little while You leave me cryin', cryin' like a baby child But I don't want no one night man To take me out on no one night stand You've got to be a rest of my life man 'Cause I play for keeps, baby, yes I do I play for keeps now And once we get together Oh, it's got to last forever If I can't have the soul of you Then I don't want no part of you 'Cause if you can't love me forever and a day Then you might as well go away 'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby, yes I do I play for keeps now Said I don't want no one night man Said I can't stand the one night stand, no, no 'Cause I play for keeps, baby
