Lyrics for Plaything

I thought this was a good place to start/looking out on my treeless plain The good Lord has our best interests at heart, He's Making an effort and starting again Chorus: I just wanted a plaything The only good ones a dead ringer for the real thing I just wanted a plaything, the right way to say the wrong thing. Now you're wearing someone elses pin/I'm as blue as the night is long Hiding in corners I overlooked in Filling in cracks where the splinters belonged (Chorus) Sometimes I wonder what the good Lord has in store
