"Can't we be friends?" She's gonna turn me down and say I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams So it seems this is how the story ends Never again and through with love And through with them They play their game without shame And who's to blame? I'll

I tried to numb the pain But I can't get away Hiding behind this disguise The games I had to play The hell I had to pay Don't know where it went wrong But my love for this is gone Everything comes with a price Feels like I'm running in place

Play the game Everybody play the game of love All you have to do is fall in love It's a free free world Open up your mind and let me step inside Rest your weary head and let your heart decide It's so easy when you know the rules It's so easy all you have

Love is a losing game Love is a losing hand And now the final frame Love is a fate resigned For you I was the flame Five story fire as you came Love is losing game One I wished, I never played Oh, what a mess we made

Oh, well a sayin' that you're leavin', I don't want to hear that talk Stare at disbelief in me when I just up and walk Oh, woman and a woman, them are silly games you play, yeah Dealin' with your troubles drove me away Outta love (outta love) again,

Such a cold blooded love No one knows I'm afraid of your touch But I love it too much You had me on your list The target of your mission All these times you would be missing me Is really guilt admission, baby The game we're playing is addictive

Please forgive me Love is a game we play If you love me I'm right here Come back here Go, go (from this point on it's up to you) Then don't leave me Yeah, empty rooms Looking at a photo with a kiss and a come home soon

No one knows what draws the moth to the flame And nothing costs as much as playing the game She had to know, know, know, he'd give love for sex He had to know, know, know, she'd give sex for love The taste, touching his tongue, sweet to his lips Poison,
