People Just Love To Play With Words

I'm not tryin' to impress you with my lines

They don't mean nothin' at all

It's just another expression of mine

It don't mean nothin' at all

Mystifying, Oh no

Crystalizing, you know

People just love to play with words

People just love to play, haven't you heard

People just love to play with words

People just love to play, haven't you heard

There are two sides, a win or loss

What's two down and four across

Analyzing and implying, you know

People just love to play with words

People just love to play, haven't you heard

People just love to play with words

People just love to play, haven't you heard...
