The Crying Game (feat. Jessie Ware)
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.
Here we go again, it's the game we love
Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs
You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs
Hit you with the Ace of Spade, in your face, and shrugged
Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs
We was just planning a wedding, caught cagin' doves
You was just tellin' your mans, that you hate the clubs
Now we in the crying game, heart laced with slugs
Are you alone?
Do you need someone? Is it too late to talk?
Did I wait too long?
Thousand words
Don't change a thing
Is it only three?
Three words that you're missing?
Where did you go? Couldn't see
I was too busy
Could've just said no
Where would you go? I think know
We're back to play here
We're back to play here
We're back to play here
The crying game
I could've given everything
Don't wanna let the tears begin
We're back to play here
The crying game
I could've given everything
Don't wanna let the tears begin
We're back to play here
The crying game
Welcome to the crying game where you lose your soul
Where it ain't no easy cash, you got to use the toll
Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control
Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes
Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious
Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what?
Another slap to the face, another uppercut
I'm just abusive by nature, not 'cause I hate ya
Not 'cause I wanna, guess I wanna imitate ya
I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya
But is you stayin' or goin'?
I couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it
How come you never show it?
All this love you speak of
All I want is to love and be loved
(To love and be loved)
I'm losin' a thing
I thought I'd win
And I'm coming undone
'Cause the tears don't end
Where did you go? Couldn't see
I was too busy
Could've just said no
Where would you go? I think know
We're back to play here
We're back to play here
We're back to play here
The crying game
I could've given everything (everything)
Don't wanna let the tears begin (everything)
We're back to play here
The crying game
I could've given everything
Don't wanna let the tears begin
We're back to play here
The crying game
