I never thought loving could be this way
I never thought someone would hear me say
I never thought anyone could be
as special as you've become to me
You've tamed my nature, oh, but peacefully
I'm not gonna play around no more
play around no more
'cause you're everything I've waited for
I'm not gonna ever leave you
You don't know how much I need you
I'm not gonna play around no more
I never thought caring could be this way
I never thought sharing would be part of my day
I never thought anyone could be
as special as you've become to me
You've chased the fear and doubt right out of me
I'm not gonna play around no more
play around no more
'cause you're everything I've waited for
I'm not gonna ever leave you
You don't know how much I need you
I'm not gonna play around no more
I've messed up real in living
for all my misgivings
and now I want to thank you
for standing by me all the way
I never thought anyone could be
as special as you've become to me
You've chased the fear and doubt right out of me
I'm not gonna play around no more
play around no more
'cause you're everything I've waited for
I'm not gonna ever leave you
You don't know how much I need you
I'm not gonna play around no more
Play around no more
Play around no more
Play around no more
