Play Around
Girlschool Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you shine like gold to me
I feel like I№m on a voyage of discovery
I'm, I'm dancing on wires I'm flying high
Couldn't get any higher

I'm not looking for excuses
I'm looking to believe in you
Some common ground
To make you stay around
Come on let's play around

I, I get so excited I'm totally blinded
By the light in front of me
How do you do what you do to me
I feel like I'm in the middle of a fantasy

I'm not looking for excuses
I'm looking to believe in you
Some common ground
To make you stay around
Come on let's play around

I'm not looking for excuses
I'm looking to believe in you
Some common ground
To make you stay around

I'm not looking for excuses
I'm looking to believe in you
Some common ground
To make you stay around
Come on let's play around




Come on let's play around
Come on let's play around
