Lyrics

VERSE
I’ve been tellin’ myself these last few years
That it ain’t yet my time to die
Goin’ all-in is a paralyzin’ fear
I just gotta keep my ever-rovin’ eye

PRE-CHORUS
Lately I’ve been gettin’ a whole lot weaker
Because I’ve met a bona fide pleasure seeker
He’s got me re-thinkin’; my resolve is shrinkin’
Why can’t he just let me be?

CHORUS
Man, he’s playin’ hard to forget
Showin’ up here in his two-seater jet
Wearin’ me out without breakin’ a sweat
If I don’t take the plunge I’m afraid of regret
’Cause I’m thinkin’ he’s good as it gets
Yeah, he’s playin’ hard to forget

VERSE
I guess I thought love was hello and goodbye
With the in-between a shared good time
But this in-between, well, it was over the sky
He lookin' to see how high we can fly

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Just when I thought I was under control
I found out the control was all his

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yeah, he’s playin’ hard to forget
