Four Play

[Verse]
One for the money, two for the show,
Three's a crowd, but I like it so.
Four is the number where trouble begins,
A game of hearts where nobody wins.

[Chorus]
Four play, oh, what a tangled affair,
Two too many, but who’s counting, I swear.
Four play, it’s a dangerous game,
But I’m caught in the rhythm, just the same.

[Verse 2]
She’s got the sparkle, he’s got the flair,
I’m in the middle, pretending I don’t care.
Cards on the table, but I’m out of tricks,
Love’s a quartet, and it’s all politics.

[Prechorus]
Three’s a waltz, but four’s a dance,
A dizzy spin, a reckless chance.

[Chorus]
Four play, oh, what a tangled affair,
Two too many, but who’s counting, I swear.
Four play, it’s a dangerous game,
But I’m caught in the rhythm, just the same.

[Bridge]
Like notes in a chord, we clash and we blend,
A harmony twisted, a song with no end.
Oh, the melody’s sweet, but the tension’s so tight,
Four play keeps me up all night.
