Silly Game

[Verse 1]

I never thought you would be the one

That I'd want to run to

I never thought you would be the one

That would make me care

And even though you done me wrong

For some strange reason I can't explain

I get happy knowing you phoned

Because your voice could kill my every pain

[Refrain]

Why do we play this silly game?

[Verse 2]

I never thought you would be the one

That I'd want to give to

A diamond ring, anything

That you ask me to

But there you were, bragging to your friends

Making up a story that's so lame

That I was down to be your sugar daddy

One way ticket to ghetto fame

[Refrain]

Why do we play this silly game?

[Bridge]

Every other night you weren't at home

Out in the streets, just acting grown

Never with a bodyguard or chaperon

Then I hear a rumor that breaks my heart

Instead of taking care of yourself

You are tearing yourself apart

Now why you want to

(Why you want to, why you want to)

Now why you want to go and do that, love?

[Refrain]

Why do we play this silly game?

[Verse 4]

I never thought you would be the one

(That I'd want to run to) that I'd want to run to

I never thought you'd be the one

That would make me care

No matter how far I run

I'll never be the same (I'll never be the same)

In the end, in the end, there's only us to blame

[Refrain]

Why do we play this

Why do we play this silly

Why do we play this silly game?

Tell me why

Oh why

Why do we play this silly game?
