[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I weigh heavy on your conscience
And time is of the essence now
So, play it right
Oh, when you're all done
Are you sailing off to see the sun?
Or left behind us?
[Chorus]
When you feel the pressure weighing on your soul
I'll be there to help fill the page with gold
Hard for you to measure where you set your sights
Feel a sense of leisure, oh, play it right
[Verse 2]
Draw me a pretty little picture
And tell me what the story is
Your future's bright
Oh, rollercoaster
Bowl me over when you hit the heights
So hold on tighter
[Chorus]
When you feel the pressure weighing on your soul
I'll be there to help fill the page with gold
Hard for you to measure where you set your sights
Feel a sense of leisure, oh, play it right
[Post-Chorus]
Play it right
Play it right
Play it right
Oh, play it
[Bridge]
And I could be your saviour
What would you become?
And sometimes you might waver
While reaching number one
So concentrate your mind
Concentrate your mind
Concentrate your mind
Concentrate your
[Chorus]
When you feel the pressure weighing on your soul
I'll be there to help fill the page with gold
Hard for you to measure where you set your sights
Feel a sense of leisure, oh, play it right
[Post-Chorus]
Play it right
Play it right
Play it right
Oh, play it
Play it right
Play it right
Play it right
[Outro]
Draw me a pretty little picture
And tell me what the story is
Your future's bright
