Viewing lyrics for Playing In The Box by ROBERT CARNEY.

Kids playing in the toy box full of sand
I watch their beautiful Mama get their lunch boxes ready
Then we're all out the door on a mission like superman
Some things in life don't change
Grown ups still like to play
I'm going to get off work a little early today
Come home n' play with the lady I love
How do I say?

Yes we'll be playing in the box the baby came in
Gonna pop a little bubbly and draw the drapes in
I'll play the cowboy, you can play the maiden
Yippie i ee, baby when you ride with me
I do believe, we ride for love

Back in the day I remember when
Your love was like a vault nobody got in
But I picked your lock, baby I shook your tree
Your daddy said that I'd do time
Now look at me here, all tied up tonight
Oh baby, come on, set me free
Mama, I'll be good you'll see

Come on let’s play in the box the baby came in
Pop a little bubbly and draw the drapes in
You play the doctor, I'll try to be patient but hurry please
Think it’s an emergency
I do believe, it must be love

Well I'll be rolling up our lane about 2 pm
I don't have any appointment baby but maybe you can fit me in...

Did I ever tell you girl “You are my favorite”
And without your sweet loving I don’t think that I could make it
Not another minute I can’t save it
Down on my knees..."baby would you marry me, again I believe"
I want to play in the box the baby came in
Pop a little bubbly and draw the drapes in
I said it once before girl and I'd like to saw it again
Until I hear the words Amen
I want to be your riding friend
Cause I'm in love
