Carrie Underwood - Play On Album Lyrics

You better take it from me,
That boy is like a disease
You're running, you're tired, you're trying to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free
He's like a curse he's like a drug.
You get addicted to his love.
You wanna get out but he's holding you down ‘Cause you can't live without one more touch.

Chorus:
He's a good time cowboy Casanova; leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery
He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight
You better run for your life

I see that look on your face, you ain't hearing what I say
So I'll say it again ‘cause I've been where you've been and I know how it ends, you can't get away
Don't even look in his eyes, he'll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe, but you won't be deceived if you listen to me and take my advice

Chorus:
He's a good time cowboy Casanova; leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery
He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight
You better run for your life

Run, run, run away don't let him mess with your mind
He'll tell you anything you wanna hear
He'll break your heart it's just a matter of time
But just remember-

Chorus:
He's a good time cowboy Casanova leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery
He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight
You better run for your life

Oh you better run for your life,
Oh you better run for your life

Here's how it goes
Boy meets girl, girl leaves boy
That's all I know
All I've done, all my life

'Cause throughout history
I've only been with jerks
Who couldn't take it
But you see the picket fence
the swing on the front porch
With us two on it

When I believe that nothing lasts forever
You stay with me, keeping us together
And make me feel like I never ever wanna give you up
'Til now, I've always been a quitter

You rescued me
Saved my life just in time
Saw past all my issues and scars
And made me try

'Cause oh, the way you're kissing me
Makes it hard to breathe
But I still like it
Oh oh, it truly feels like a dream
You know exactly how I want it

I believe that nothing lasts forever
You stay with me, keeping us together
And make me feel like I never ever wanna give you up
'Til now, I've always been a quitter

I've always been a quitter

When I believe that nothing lasts forever
You stay with me, keeping us together
And make me feel like I never ever wanna give you up
'Til now, I've always been a quitter

I've always been a quitter

Mama you taught me to do the right things
So now you have to let your baby fly
You've given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life

And I know you watch me grow up
And only want what's best for me
And I think I found the answer
To your prayers

And he is good, so good
He treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me

Mama there's no way you'll ever lose me
And giving me away is not goodbye
As you watch me walk down to my future,
I hope tears of joy are in your eyes

'Cause he is good, so good
And he treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me

And when I watch my baby grow up
I'll only want what's best for her
And I hope she'll find the answer to my prayers
And that she'll say

He is good, so good
And he treats your little girl like a real man should
He is good, so good, he makes promises he keeps
No he's never gonna leave
So don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me

Mama don't you worry about me
Don't you worry about me

What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk bench trying to keep warm
Do you call her over, hand her the change
Ask her her story, ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself

"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"

What'cha gonna do when you're watching TV
And an ad comes on, yeah, you know the kind
Flashing up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day, you could save a life
Do you call the number, reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel, call it a scam
Do you tell yourself

"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"

The world's so big, it can break your heart
And you just want to help, not sure where to start
So you close your eyes
And send up a prayer into the dark

"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't listen to them when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"

I should have known by the way you passed my by
There was something in your eyes and it wasn't right
I should have walked, but I never had the chance
Everything got out of hand, and I let it slide
Now I only have myself to blame
For falling for your stupid games
I wish my life could be the way it was before I saw your face

You stole my happy
You made my cry
Took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh undo it
You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy, you blew it
You put me through it
I wanna Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh undo it

Now your photos don't have a picture frame
And I never say your name, and I never will
And all your things, well I threw 'em in the trash
And I'm not even sad
Now you only have yourself to blame
For playing all those stupid games
You're always gonna be the same
Oh no, you'll never change

You stole my happy
You made my cry
Took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh undo it
You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy, you blew it
You put me through it
I wanna Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh undo it

You want my future
You can't have it
I'm still trying to erase you from my past
I need you gone so fast

You stole my happy
You made my cry
Took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh undo it
You had my heart, now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy, you blew it
You put me through it
I wanna Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh undo it

One foot on the bus bout half past nine
Iknew that you were leavin this time
I thought about laying down in its path
Thinkin that you might get off or that
I remember that night we layed in bed
Naming all our kids that we hadn't had yet
One for your grandma and one for mine
Said we'd draw straws when it came time

I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when i stop living you

I bet all i had on a thing called love
I guess in the end it wasn't enough
And it's hard to watch you leave right now
I'm gonna have to learn to let you go some how
Some how

I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when i stop living you

Oooh oh someday
Oh someday

I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need her moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when i stop living you

Someday when i stop loving you

Wanna find some boy, rip his heart right out
First man I see, gonna take him down
It ain't the Christian thing to do, they say
But someone, somewhere's gotta pay

And if it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised
How easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this

Broke my TV, pawned my guitar
After maxing out my credit cards
You lied much too much, and you lied again
'Caught you on the couch with my best friend

And if it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised
How easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be

Songs like this one
That tell the whole world
Just what a jerk you are

And if it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this
And if you hadn't gone and done me wrong
I wouldn't go off like this
Yeah, even I'm surprised
How easy sweet revenge rolls off my lips
If it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be

No, if it wasn't for guys like you
There wouldn't be songs like this

Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone
Another new mom and dad,another school
Another house that'll never be home
When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

"This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this is my
Temporary Home."

Young mom on her own
She needs a little help got nowhere to go
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out
Because a half-way house will never be a home
At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we'll find a place here in this world

"This is our temporary home
It's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know this is our
Temporary Home."

Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don't cry for me
I'll see you all someday
He looks up and says "I can see God's face"

"This is my temporary Home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through
This was just a stop,on the way To where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know this was
My temporary home."

This is our temporary home

Maybe it's the way that the stars are aligned
That's makin me feel this way tonight
Maybe it's the word you left unsaid
Maybe it's the stardust in my head

But I wanna tell you
That my heart is busting at the seams, yeah
And I can't wait another minute
Life is short, love is sweet
Ain't no time like this time baby

Maybe it's the way that the night is still
Or the sound of the rain on my windowsill
That's making all the pieces fit
Making it all make perfect sense

But I wanna tell you
That my heart is busting at the seams, yeah
And I can't wait another minute
Life is short, love is sweet
Ain't no time like this time baby

Goes by so fast
Can't get it back
There ain't no time like this time

Yeah I just wanna tell you
That my heart is busting at the seams, yeah
And I can't wait another minute
Oh, Oh, Life is short, love is sweet
Ain't no time like this time baby

My little baby

Maybe it's the way that the stars are aligned
And there ain't no time
Ain't no time
Ain't no time like this time baby

Oooh, yeah

Maybe it's the way that the night is still
Or the sound of the rain on my windowsill
Yeah, yeah

I would bet my life, like I bet my heart
That you were the one, baby
I've never been so sure of anything before
You're driving my heart crazy

I can't hold out, I can't hold back now
Like I've done before

Darling, look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling, can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to

I tell myself I'm in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Everytime you look at me

How do you do that, babe?
Make me feel like I'm the only girl alive for you
I don't know what it is that makes me fall like this
First time in your arms, I knew

The way you held me, I knew that this could be
What I've been waiting to find

Darling, look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling, can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to

I tell myself I'm getting in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Everytime you look at me

Everytime you look at me

Last night I was pouring out my heart like a waterfall to you
And with one kiss I was a runaway train
Flying off the track to you
"I Love You" came flooding out
Couldn't make it stop
Couldn't shut my mouth
I felt like a fool, then I lied and said I was sorry, but

I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight em' back, or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize.

You know people say a lot of things that they don't really mean.
And last night I told a little white lie
Hoping you'd forget the scene
We're feeling like a movie under that porch light
Couldn't help myself when you held me tight
I said what I meant, then I lied and said I was sorry

I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight em' back, or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize.

Oh there's no time to be holding it all,
and trying to pretend that I don't feel anything
Oh I shouldn't have said I'm sorry

I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight em' back, or hide my feelings for you...
I unapologize

'Cause you heard me right, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I unapologize

(Featuring Sons Of Sylvia)

Piercing words, eyes are red
Watched your taillights in the rain
Empty heart filled with regret
I know we were both to blame

And I'm not sorry that it's over
But for the way we let it end
So I said all I had to say
In letters that I threw away

And you should know, please believe me
I've picked up the phone a thousand times
And tried to dial your number
But it's been so long, it's never easy
It's like trying to spin the world the other way
What can I say?

How did it come to this?
I think about you all the time
It's no excuse
But I wish that I never made you cry

I'm not sorry that it's over
But for the way we let it end
I couldn't find the words to say

And you should know, please believe me
I've picked up the phone a thousand times
And tried to dial your number
But it's been so long, it's never easy
It's like trying to spin the world the other way
So what can I say?
What can I say?
What can I say?

I hate to think all you had of me
(I said all I had to say)
Is a memory I left you,
Space between what was mean to be
(In letters I threw away)
And the mess that it turned into


And you should know, please believe me
I've picked up the phone a thousand times
And tried to dial your number
But it's been so long, it's never easy
It's like trying to spin the world the other way
It's like trying to spin the world the other way
What can I say?
What can I say?
What can I say?

What you gonna do when the show is over
What you gonna sing when the song ends, yeah
How you gonna cope when there is no closure
Where you gonna reach when the goal gets higher
How you gonna make it through when you think you've lost your chance

Play on
When you're losing the game, play on
'Cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on
Play on


Even when the flood gates swing wide open
Never let the currents take you down, no
Even when you're not sure where you're going
Swimming through a mess, and you can't get out
Just going through the motions, and trying not to drown

Play on
When you're losing the game, play on
'Cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on
Play On

Even through a storm on the darkest night
Don't you ever give up the fight
Even when you feel you're all alone

Play On
Play On
Play On
When you're losing the game, play on
'Cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on
Play on
Play on

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
