Playin' It Safe Songtext
von Tracy Nelson

First time you held me, it felt too good, I didn′t wanna want you so much
Now you're tryna tell me you don′t think we should, and I'm tryna live without your touch
Most people say it's the other way around, the woman is usually the teese
But you seem content to remain safe and sound, but I′m not so easy to please

You′re playing it safe in a dangerous place, your head down, afraid to go high
You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire

I know all about self-preservation, I bragged this, said too many years
For the love that's without reservation is worth all about in a day
You think what you got is a lifeline, a shield from a world full of pain
If you take a good look, well, I think you might find what you thought is all gone in a tray

You′re playing it safe in a dangerous place, you best not believe in desire
You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire


You think the law is a weapon
You got your back to the wall
You think something terrible might happen
But it already has, and it wasn't so bad

Don′t tell me you wish things were different
Don't say you′re afraid you might fall
If you're too afraid, gave in to be scared
You shouldn't have come here at all
Loving is war, and it′s peace
It′s a battle round, well for the throne
It's finally there, and you see, yeah
And the lord has a plan for you after all

You′re playing it safe in a dangerous place, your head down, afraid to go higher
You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire

Oh, you're playing it safe in a dangerous place, you best not believe in desire
You might believe that your body will be safe, but your soul will be lost in the fire
