Lyrics
Don't Play The Game
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.
The hardest thing you ever do is love yourself that gal don't love you
She'll cause you sleepless nights and endless pain
But if you don't like the rules don't play the game
Everytime that girl walks by your heart will ache your very soul will die
But love one sided it's just yourself to blame
And if you don't like the rules don't play the game
You think by now I see the fool I've been given my heart a chance to win
Well I do but I don't I will but I won't deep inside I know I'll do again
The hardest thing you ever do is love yourself that gal don't love you
With love one sided it's just yourself to blame
And if you don't like the rules don't play the game
If you don't like the rules don't play the game
