**(Verse 1: Male)** [Steel Guitar Intro]
Well, I’ve been watchin’ you, darlin’, playin’ your games,
But I ain’t just a puppet, I’ve got my own name.
You pull the strings, but I won’t dance for free,
I’m a man with a heart, can’t you see?
**(Chorus: Male & Female)**
I ain’t no toy, just a plaything for the night,
I’m a rugged soul, lookin’ for the light.
Don’t wrap me up in ribbons, don’t tie me down,
I’m a wild river, baby, can’t be bound.
**(Verse 2: Female)**
Well, I’m not just a flower, here for you to pick,
I’m rooted in the soil, and I won’t budge quick.
You think I’m just a whisper, soft and sweet,
But I’ve got a fire burnin’ underneath my feet.
**(Chorus: Male & Female)**
I ain’t no toy, just a plaything for the night,
I’m a rugged soul, lookin’ for the light.
Don’t wrap me up in ribbons, don’t tie me down,
I’m a wild river, baby, can’t be bound.
**(Bridge: Male)**
So if you want my heart, you better treat it right,
I’m not here for the shadows, I’m searchin’ for the light.
**(Loretta Lynn)**
And if you want my love, you gotta take a stand,
We’ll rise together, hand in hand.
**(Chorus: Male & Female)**
I ain’t no toy, just a plaything for the night,
I’m a rugged soul, lookin’ for the light.
Don’t wrap me up in ribbons, don’t tie me down,
I’m a wild river, baby, can’t be bound.
**(Outro: Male)**
Yeah, I ain’t no toy,
**(Female)**
And I ain’t no game,
**(Together)**
We’re two hearts beatin’, never the same.
So let’s ride this road, side by side,
Not just playin’ house, but takin’ that ride......
