Tender lyrics

Don't play with me, unless it's for real,
Don't stay with me, unless it's for real.

All I had
Was one sure thing
In my life
I lost it all,
But I just couldn't see
A reason to believe
If only I could try
And start again

In my mind I live in California
In my mind I spent some time with you
I watch the sun light up the ocean
I sit and pray that all my dreams come true

So don't play with me, unless it's for real
So don't stay with me, unless it's for real

Here I stand
And here I fall
A clear blue sky
Looks down on me
And this once tender man
Has done the best he can
But just can't a way
To start again

In my mind I live in California
In my mind I spent some time with you
I watch the sun light up the ocean
And sit and pray that all my dreams come true

So don't play with me, unless it's for real
So don't stay with me, unless it's for real

I take a chance
Give me one more try
A second glance
Make me realize
That all I need
Is a master plan
To find a world
That can understand

So don't play with me unless it's for real
So don't stay with me unless it's for real
So don't play with me
