Lyrics
Mind Games
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She tries on dresses half her size,
She whines these labels all tell lies.
She wiggles til you give her love,
And say "I'm jumping off your buzz!"
Love is mind games!
Love is mind games!
She complains you listen nice.
Get's PO'd by your advice.
She waits until it's time for bed
To question what's inside your head.
If you think black is black
And white is white,
Open up your eyes
And get it right.
Love is mind games!
Love is mind games!
Love is mind games!
Love is mind games!
And if you think the chemistry that makes you stupid
Is the same as the stuff that makes you smart,
All I can say to you my friend is that you're off to a vacant start!
Playin' mind games!
Playin' mind games!
I try and try hard to believe
A guy and girl can live in peace.
I get less when I explain
We could escape the house of pain.
If you think the sky is blue
Or the grass is green,
Open up your eyes
See what I mean.
Love is mind games!
Love is mind games!
Love is mind games!
Love is mind games!
