Grand Piano Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Am I just a fool
Blind and stupid for lovin' you?
Am I just a silly girl?
So young and naive to think you were
[Pre-Chorus]
The one who came to take claim of this heart
Cold-hearted, shame you'll remain just a frame in the dark
And now the people
[Chorus]
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
[Post-Chorus]
So play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on
[Verse 2]
Am I queen of fools?
Wrapped up in lies and foolish jewels
What do I see in you?
Maybe I'm addicted to all the things you do
'Cause I keep thinkin' you are
Am I just a fool
Blind and stupid for lovin' you?
Am I just a silly girl?
So young and naive to think you were
[Pre-Chorus]
The one who came to take claim of this heart
Cold-hearted, shame you'll remain just a frame in the dark
And now the people
[Chorus]
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
[Post-Chorus]
So play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on
[Verse 2]
Am I queen of fools?
Wrapped up in lies and foolish jewels
What do I see in you?
Maybe I'm addicted to all the things you do
'Cause I keep thinkin' you are
[Pre-Chorus]
The one who had came to take claim of this heart
Cold-hearted, shame you'll remain just a frame in the dark
[Chorus]
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
[Post-Chorus]
So play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on
The one who had came to take claim of this heart
Cold-hearted, shame you'll remain just a frame in the dark
[Chorus]
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
The people are talkin'
The people are sayin' that you have been playin' my heart
Like a grand piano (Piano)
[Post-Chorus]
So play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on, play on
Play on, play on
