Play Dumb is a song in which Sia gets mad at a former lover who cheated on her and treated her like she was nothing to them, and declares she’s ready to move on instead of play dumb and stay in the dangerous relationship.
[Chorus]
I stayed too long
You been kissing on everyone
You played my love
So I'll play you like a kick drum
I’m movin' on
'Cause I love myself too much
To play this dumb
Put my money where my mouth’s at (Girls)
[Verse 1]
Check your DMs every PM and I'm seein' all your eloquence
You put my money where your mouth is (Girls)
I check your texts, I see the ex, you selling sex, you're the ventriloquist
You put my money where her mouth is (Girls)
Now I see lipstick on your collar, got a dollar everytime I've wept
Wondering wherе she put her mouth at (Girls)
Hah, I don't wanna take a bеt on any man who can't show up for it
I'll put my money where my mouth’s at (Girls)
[Refrain]
I’ll put my money where my mouth's at (Girls)
I’ll put my money where my mouth's at (Girls)
I'll put my money where my mouth's at
I’ll put my money where my mouth's at (Peace)
[Verse 2]
If this is love, collect ya stuff, I've had enough, I want you out the door
You put my money where her mouth was (Girls)
If this is love, I'll take my stuff, I'm givin' up on us, I'm givin' up
You put my money where her mouth was (Peace)
I see lipstick on your collar, got a dollar everytime I've wept
Wondering where she put her mouth at (Girls)
I don't wanna take a bet on any man who can't show up for it
I'll put my money where my mouth's at (Girls)
[Refrain]
I'll put my money where my mouth's at (Girls)
I'll put my money where my mouth's at (Girls)
I'll put my money where my mouth's at (Girls)
I'll put my money where my mouth's at
[Chorus]
I stayed too long
You been kissing on everyone
You played my love
So I'll play you like a kick drum
I'm movin' on
'Cause I love myself too much
To play this dumb
This dumb (Peace)
[Bridge]
I love myself too much to play this dumb
I like myself too much to keep these goddamn blinders on
I love myself too much to play this dumb
I love myself too much to play this dumb (Peace)
[Chorus]
I stayed too long
You been kissing on everyone
You played my love
So I'll play you like a kick drum
I'm movin' on
'Cause I love myself too much
To play this dumb
I'll put my money where my mouth's at
[Outro]
I love myself too much to play this dumb
I like myself too much to keep these goddamn blinders on
I love myself too much to play this dumb
I love myself too much to play this dumb
