Life's a checkerboard of nites and days
All together yet each alone we play
Till one by one the game is done
And nothin' you can do
Nothin you can say
Could ever bring back one single day
In and out
Above below
It's just a magic shadow show
And win or lose
I'll sing these blues

Nothin' you can do Nothin' you can say
Could ever change not one single day

SO LET THE MUSIC PLAY
LET THE WHEEL GO ROUND
LET THE MUSIC PLAY
LET THE WHEEL TURN

Life is a checkerboard of nites and days
All together yet each alone we play
Till one by one this game is done
And nothin' we can do
Nothin we can say
Could ever win back one single day

SO LET THE MUSIC PLAY
LET THE WHEEL GO ROUND
LET THE MUSIC PLAY
LET THE WHEEL TURN
Lovin' you
When you don't want me to
I'm trying to forget
But it ain't workin' yet
I wish that I could have been
What you say that you wanted then
But I was a damaged man
From a love I had lost
Town to town
I was steady fallin' down
I did not try to see
I might as well been blind
You say you loved me then
How I wish that you would again
I won't ask you to pretend
'cause you never asked me
Now I feel so weak inside
From the hurt that I've tried to hide
I see you everywhere
Everywhere I go
You say that you loved me then
How I wish that you would again
But I won't ask you to pretend
'cause you never asked me
Lovin' you
But you don't want me to
I'm trying to forget
Baby it ain't workin' yet
You say you loved me then
I wish that you would again
I won't ask you to pretend
'cause you never asked me
