The Games We Play
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.
You say
it's solid poetry
It's what you want to see
Some sensuality
When you cry,
I just can't prove you wrong
Hell I just play along
I guess it turns you on...
The games we play
The shows we give
The hearts we break
We live through this
the games we play
(oh) Do right,
it's getting critical
Are we too cynical
Could use a miracle...
The games we play
The shows we give
My heart you break
I live through this...
the games we play
The games we play
The rules we make
Like secret codes,
we can't escape
The games we play...
- The games we play...
You say
there really is no doubt
We just can't do without...
(solo chorus)
- The games we play
- The games we play...
The games we play
The shows we give
The hearts we break
We live through this
The games we play
The games we play
The rules we bend
With lovers lust, we will defend
The games we play...
You say
it's solid poetry
