[Verse 1] You say all the right things when the lights low Whisperin’ promises that only the night knows But actions louder than the words you feed me If it’s love, girl, you gon’ have to show me [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t got time for no halfway love If you gon’ stay, then you better step up My energy’s gold, I don’t waste it, no Better mean it when you say you won’t let go [Chorus] Don’t play with my heart, it’s not a game I’m not another number, not another name If you can’t handle real, then let me be ’Cause love is deeper than the surface, can’t you see? Don’t play, don’t play with my heart… No, don’t play, don’t play with my heart. [Verse 2] I’ve been too good to settle for maybes Gave all my love, no space for the shady I need a woman who’s solid, who’s steady If you ain’t built for forever, don’t tempt me [Pre-Chorus] I ain’t got time for no halfway love If you gon’ stay, then you better step up My energy’s gold, I don’t waste it, no Better mean it when you say you won’t let go [Chorus] Don’t play with my heart, it’s not a game I’m not another number, not another name If you can’t handle real, then let me be ’Cause love is deeper than the surface, can’t you see? Don’t play, don’t play with my heart… No, don’t play, don’t play with my heart. [Bridge] I’d rather be alone than broken So keep it real, no sugar-coatin’ If you can’t match the love I’m holdin’ Then baby, leave the door wide open… [Chorus – repeat & ad-libs] Don’t play with my heart, it’s not a game (not a game, no) I’m not another number, not another name (I ain’t the same) If you can’t handle real, then let me be (let me go free) ’Cause love is deeper than the surface, can’t you see? Don’t play, don’t play with my heart… No, don’t play, don’t play with my heart.
