You don’t have to be the one 
To break my heart again 
You don’t have to pay for the tears I’ve cried 
 Keep sending home the money 
 I’ll be satisfied 

 Play dead 
 Play dead 

 It is the season for you playing dead 
 You give me a reason to get into bed 
 I’ll put the flowers where you lay your head 
 You’ll be the coward [bad word] away 

 Before you leave me 
 Play dead for me 
 Play dead 

 You want to reach me 
 Play dead for me 
 Play dead 

 Oooohh! 
 (And when you found me baby?) 
 From the other side 
 Keep sending home the money 
 And I’ll be all right 

 It is the season for you playing dead 
 You give me a reason to get into bed 
 I’ll put the flowers where you lay your head 
 You’ll be the coward [bad word] away 

 Before you leave me 
 Play dead for me 

 If you want to reach me 
 Play dead for me 

 Before you leave me 

 If you want to reach me 

 Play dead 
 Play dead
