Lyrics
Mr. Play It Safe
Sam sees her there on the front porch swing
The smile on her lips makes his heart sing
Though they've known each other for years and years
something inside just won't face the fear
His heart says tell her just how you feel
But his mind keeps repeating its urgent appeal
Mr Play it Safe
Don't rush into fast
Don't make that mistake
So he waits a little longer For the feeling to get stronger
Till it's too late
For Mr. Play It Safe
He always dreamed of acting
Stealing the show people laughing
But every time he ever got the chance
He let it slip right thru his hands
Now he's got no one but himself to blame
Not making a choice is a choice just the same
Mr Play it Safe
Don't rush into fast
Don't make that mistake
So he waits a little longer For the feeling to get stronger
Till it's too late
For Mr. Play It Safe
He always hated the nick name he earned
But lived with regret for the lessons not learned
Lessons not learned
Mr Play it Safe
Don't rush into fast
Don't make that mistake
So he waits a little longer For the feeling to get stronger
Till it's too late
For Mr. Play It Safe
