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 One of these days while you're at play I'm gonna catch you off guard
Chorus: I'm gonna tear your playhouse down Pretty soon I'm gonna tear your playhouse down Room by room
You make our lives a stress and strain Using the power ploy 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
Chorus
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
Chorus
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down Pretty soon I'm gonna tear your playhouse down Room by room by room, oh
