lyrics

Don't you try to play with the boys in the street
Don't you know they just want somebody to beat
Play high or play low
Just don't let your feelings show
Keep them hidden like
The lover by your side
And don't you go out trying to find someone to meet

Don't you go where you've never been before
Don't you know its only gonna get you to the floor
With your legs all broken or you're paralyzed
All worn out with tears in your eyes
Play high or play low
Just don't let your feelings show
Keep them hidden like
The lover by your side
And don't you go out trying to find someone to meet

Don't let people tell you what to do
You have seen enough to see it through
Whether high or low
Just let your feelings go
And keep them satisfied
The lover by your side

Recorded in North Germany in 12/2019 ... more
