#MusicMonday I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down by Paul Young

Time for tunes! This is a weekly thing hosted by Drew at The Tattooed Book Geek where you just get the chance to post up a song you love!

Back to the 80’s for me today and another one of those artists whose posters I had all over my bedroom walls! Paul Young!

LYRICS

You think you’ve got it all set up

You think you’ve got the perfect plan

To charm everyone you see

And playing any game you can

But I’ve got news for you

I hope it don’t hit you too hard

I’m gonna catch you off guard

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon

One of these days while you’re at play

You make our lives a stress and strain

Using the power ploy

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down room by room

All you do is pass around

Hearts you use as play toys

You’ve been playing madly

With every mind in town

So what you gonna do when you look up one day

And see your playhouse tumbling down

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down room by room

You think you’ve got it all set up

You think you’ve got the perfect plan

To charm everyone you see

And playing any game you can

You’ve been playing madly

With every mind in town

Oh, what you gonna do when you look up one day

And see your playhouse tumbling down

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down room by room

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down room by room by room
