Play Your Part (Leading Role Club Mix)

Play Your Part

Deborah Cox

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

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

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

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

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

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
