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.
Broken down to the sound of your voice
It's easy for you but I ain't no choice
You never call I keep in touch
I'm playing the game that you like so much
Cos you like to play
But you love to tease
Cos you're a difficult woman
Who hates to please
Cos you like to play
But you love to tease
You're in my mind tearing me apart
Took over my body then you ripped out my heart
I'm always there when you call
That's what you like about me best of all
Cos you like to play
But you love to tease
Cos you're a difficult woman
Who hates to please
Cos you like to play
But you love to tease
(she hates to please)
(she hates to please)
Y'know babe I see you on the streets
And sometimes, sometimes I see ya all over town
Y'know it makes me kinda sad
Thinkin' what we could've done
Always knew you'd take me down
Leave me there never to be found
Take what's yours and leave what's mine
We'll play this game just one more time
Cos you like to play
But you love to tease
Cos you're a difficult woman
Who hates to please
Cos you like to play
But you love to tease
(she hates to please)
If I don't laugh I'm gonna cry
(she hates to please)
I see that look baby in your eyes
(she hates to please)
If I don't laugh I'm gonna cry
Everyday she passes by...
