Play Date – English Lyrics

• By: Melanie Martinez

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You call me on the telephone, you feel so far away

You tell me to come over, there's some games you want to play

I'm walking to your house, nobody's home

Just me and you and you and me alone

We're just playing hide and seek

It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you

I don't want to play no games

I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you

I don't give a fuck about you anyways

Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?

You never share your toys or communicate

I guess I'm just a play date to you

...

Wake up in your bedroom and there's nothing left to say

When I try to talk you're always playing board games

I wish I had monopoly over your mind

I wish I didn't care all the time

We're just playing hide and seek

It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you

I don't want to play no games

I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you

I don't give a fuck about you anyways

Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?

You never share your toys or communicate

I guess I'm just a play date to you

Ring around the rosy

I never know, I never know what you need

Ring around the rosy, I want to give you, want to give you

What you need

...

I don't give a fuck about you anyways

Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?

You never share your toys or communicate

I guess I'm just a play date to you

...

You know I give a fuck about you everyday

Guess it's time that I tell you the truth

If I share my toys, will you let me stay?

Don't want to leave this play date with you

...
