Every time I look at you

My love it starts a growing

But now you’ve found somebody new

I guess that you’ll be going

When I heard that final whistle

My heart was filled with pain

So baby please don’t play that game again

The first time that I saw you

I thought my heart would burst

You came to quench my hunger

But you left me with a thirst

Girl you stole my inspiration

You left me crying in the rain

Baby please don’t play that game again

Chorus

Well love is a game

You gotta re-adjust your aim

Then maybe we can play this game again

Well love ain’t just for fools

You gotta play it by the rules

Then maybe we can play this game again

Oh well I knew you wanted loving

But heavy pettin’s not my style 

And the way you sit there coldly

You make me feel like I’m on trial

Oh girl you never were receptive

And I just can’t take the strain

So baby please don’t play that game again

Chorus
