Play Your Part Lyrics - The Morning After - Deborah Cox

[Chorus:] 

Can you pretend to be the man I should have been with 

Can we fake the life you know I should have had 

Can we do a better job of pretending that you really care 

Or I'll have to give the part to someone else 

You seem to have an important part 

The lead role of my heart 

You played it well along time ago 

Until I started falling in love 

And then you changed your character 

And avoided all of your lines 

Now the man I love is gone now 

Can you play his part at this time 

[Chorus] 

Love is like a see saw it takes two in order for it to work 

I'm working hard, I'm playing my part but the scene still won't work 

And rehearsals are long because your timing is all wrong 

So I'll find someone who loves me 

And who can play your part for life 

I deserve a lot better than this 

And I'm tired of acting like it's okay for me to give you my love 

And receive nothing back in return 

[Chorus]
