Show Time Lyrics - Dinah Washington

The world is a show place 

We all know that for a fact 

How, how the world is a show place 

We all know that for a fact 

You think you're playin' your part 

But you don't know how to act 

Now you want to be an actor 

But you're not playin' your part 

How could you wanna be an actor 

When you don't even know your part? 

You're playing with your hair 

And I'm playin' with my heart 

I can show you better 

Than any words can say 

For when I get through lovin' 

Baby, you'll have to play my way 

World is a show place 

We all know that for a fact 

You think you're playin' your part 

But you don't know how to act 

I practiced on your line 

And learned to say them right 

'Cause you'll be playin' my way 

Before tomorrow night 

Yes, the world is a show place 

We all know that's a fact 

You think you're playin' your part 

But you don't know how to act 

Well, don't think I'm being funny 

And don't think I'm being bold 

Yes baby, you gotta play it my way 

'Cause I've got you under my control 

You gotta play it my way 

'Cause Dinah's got the lead in the role
