i´d say it was the right time
to walk away
when dreaming takes you nowhere
it´s time to play
bodies working overtime
your money don´t matter
the clock keeps ticking
when someone´s on your mind

i´m moving in slow motion
feels so good
it´s a strange anticipation
knock, knock, knocking on wood
bodies working overtime
man against man
and all that ever matters
is baby who´s ahead in the game
funny but it´s always the same

(chorus)
playing, playing with the boys
playing, playing with the boys
after chasing sunsets
one of life´s simple joys
is playing with the boys

said it was the wrong thing
for me to do
i said it´s just a boys´ game
girls play too
my heart is working overtime
in this kind of game
someone gets hurt
i´m afraid that someone is me
if you want to find me, i´ll be
playing with the boys

i don´t want to be the moth around your fire
i don´t want to be obsessed by your desire
i´m ready, i´m leaving
i´ve seen enough
i´ve got to go
you play too rough
