lyrics

The Games You Play

There’s a fire in your eyes
Turns grown men in to stone
You’ve lost your love from him
With the games you play
You see you’ve thrown it all away
You know you could of made things right
You’ve lost your love from him
With the games you play

Chorus
I don't really wanna run away
I can't stand the games you play
But the way you make me feel I just can't stay away

There’s a chain around your heart
You’re a prisoner to yourself
You’ve lost your love from him
With the games you play
You seem to hide it all away
The feelings that you hold inside
You’ve lost your love from him
With the games you play

Chorus
I don't really wanna run away
I can't stand the games you play
But the way you make me feel I just can't stay away
I don't really wanna run away
I can't stand the games you play
But the way you make me feel I just can't stay away

And you won't get very far
Those walls around your heart
They’ve got to tumble on down
Tumble down…
No, you won't get very far
Those walls around your heart
They’ve got to tumble on down
Tumble down…

Chorus
I don't really wanna run away
I can't stand the games you play
But the way you make me feel I just can't stay away
I can't stand the games you play
And I don't really wanna run away
But the way you make me feel I just can't stay away,
Stay away
