Don't Play With My Heart
Beres Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So long, so long, so long
Sorry, it didn't work out
But I won't waste no more time over you, oh no
When with this life I got better things to do, oh
Why should I waste precious time over you? Oh yeah
Because you checks and no one needs me
Now why would I cry if you're leaving tomorrow?
Check and see who is surprised
Why should I die if you tell me it's over?
When will you realize?
Every man needs a woman for comfort
Nothing to mix up the brain
So if you ever, ever think for a moment
If you can run this man insane
No ain't gonna waste no more time over you, oh no
When with my life I've got better things to do, oh yeah
Why should I waste precious time over you? Oh yeah
Or when you checks and no one needs me
So you play with my heart, oh yeah
Tick-a-tick-a-tock and the clock is a-running
Now I'm gonna make you a deal
If you're gonna stay or tell me if you're leaving
But make sure this time it's for real
'cause I'm not the kind of a man to be pleading
'cause that'd only mess with my pride
So though deep down inside I'll be bleeding
I'd still have to push you aside
'cause I ain't gonna waste more time over you, no
Alright, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh
My dear Renee, it is not okay
For you to come and go
And do whatever he's asked
I ain't gonna waste no more time over you, oh no
When with my life I got better things to do, oh
Ain't gonna waste no more time over you
You must be checks and no one needs me
So you play with my heart
Now why should I cry when you're leaving tomorrow?
Check and see who is surprised
Why would I die if you tell me it's over?
When will you realize?
Every man needs a woman for comfort
Nothing to mix up the brain
So if you ever, ever think for a moment
If you can run this man insane
No ain't gonna waste no more time over you, oh no
When with my life I got better things to do
Ain't gonna waste no more time over you
You must be checks and no one needs me
So you play with my heart
Ooh Renee, it's time to say
Bye, bye

My dear Renee, I might have to say
I have to tell you something, Renee
So long, so long, so long
Goodbye
Sorry, it didn't work out
I apologize that our relationship has come to an end
But I won't waste no more time over you, oh no
I won't spend any more time on our failed relationship
When with this life I got better things to do, oh
I have more important things to focus on in my life
Why should I waste precious time over you? Oh yeah
What's the point of wasting time on someone who doesn't appreciate me?
Because you checks and no one needs me
You're only using me because you're lonely
So you play with my heart
You're toying with my emotions
Now why would I cry if you're leaving tomorrow?
Why should I be upset that you're leaving?
Check and see who is surprised
You shouldn't be surprised to see me unaffected by your leaving
Why should I die if you tell me it's over?
Why should I be devastated by the end of our relationship?
When will you realize?
When will you understand how you treated me?
Every man needs a woman for comfort
Everyone needs someone to make them feel better
Nothing to mix up the brain
Being in a relationship shouldn't be complicated
So if you ever, ever think for a moment
If you ever consider coming back to me
If you can run this man insane
Don't try to manipulate my feelings
Tick-a-tick-a-tock and the clock is a-running
Time is passing by quickly
Now I'm gonna make you a deal
Let's come to an agreement
If you're gonna stay or tell me if you're leaving
If you're going to stay or leave, let me know
But make sure this time it's for real
Make sure you're genuine about your intentions
'cause I'm not the kind of a man to be pleading
I won't beg or plead for you to stay
'cause that'd only mess with my pride
It would hurt my pride to beg you to stay
So though deep down inside I'll be bleeding
Although I'll be hurting internally
I'd still have to push you aside
I'll have to let you go
You must be checks and no one needs me
You only come back to me when you're feeling lonely
Ooh Renee, it's time to say
It's time for us to go our separate ways
Bye, bye
Goodbye
