You say you want to find your place
Say it out loud
Say it, sister
Pull back your hair
Take a look at your face
See it right now
See it, sister
Watch while we dissect your brain
And lead you to your final breakdown
See yourself
And go insane
It could be your biggest letdown
I play it as it lays every time
I say it as I play every time
And in this escapade
You will play it as it lays
And you will lose the masquerade in your mind
You’ve got the voice I want to hear
Would you sing it out loud
Sing it, sister
Sing it so everybody can hear
Sing it out loud
Sing it, sister
The stiff booze we made for you
It would be good for your depression
Play the part we wrote for you
You could lose your inhibitions
Play It As It Lays was written by Susan Hutcheson & Alicia Bridges.
Play It As It Lays was produced by Steve Buckingham.
Bridges told an interviewer in 2008 the meaning behind “Play It As It Lays”:
“Play It As It Lays” is what I try to do all the time, all the time. You know, honesty means a great deal to me, and always has, and “Play It As It Lays"…I like it when people just tell it like it is.
