- Playing Possum Lyrics / with translationsCome back from the dead
You left my, my heart here
Say what you will and won't forget
Express disappointment, speak your regrets, yeah
O baby call out my name, I'll be where you are
I'll be very still, step down to my heart
Amend this broken
If only you'd wake up from your constant possum playing
If only you'd wake up
I'm begging you sugar, have some leniency
Call the President and ask him baby, to pardon me
And bring you back to me
Oh, oh, oh, oooooh
And mend this broken
If only you'd quit this nonsense of your possum playing
If only you'd wake up, would you wake up baby, wake up baby
Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh
You left my, my heart here
Say what you will and won't forget
Express disappointment, speak your regrets, yeah
O baby call out my name, I'll be where you are
I'll be very still, step down to my heart
Amend this broken
If only you'd wake up from your constant possum playing
If only you'd wake up
Call the President and ask him baby, to pardon me
And bring you back to me
Oh, oh, oh, oooooh
And mend this broken
If only you'd quit this nonsense of your possum playing
If only you'd wake up, would you wake up baby, wake up baby
Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh
