THE LOVIN? GAME
dean h. chamberlain © 2006

HE:
You were waiting
At the backstage curtain
For a lesson
On my steel guitar

?Hey cowboy,?
that?s what you called me
I couldn?t help fallin
And I saw stars

Have some wine and stay awhile
I'll be waitin for your smile
Give it time and you might find
We'll be twined in the morning light

Though it always ends the same
We're never gonna change
How we play
The lovin? game

SHE:
No I?ll never be like you
I?ll never be alone
Depending on the wind
To blow me home

I?ve got places I?ve got to be
I?ve seen it in my dreams
The lights are calling
And the nights are mine to keep

I?ll drink some wine and play a few chords
A smile or two and I?m out that door
I?ll never be the one you?re looking for
I?ll share this song and nothing more

Though I sit and watch the seasons turn
I will never
Learn to play
The lovin? game

SOLO

HE:
Some day you?ll be waiting at this door
As a cowboy comes across the floor
You??ll know it?s time to even up the score
And your heart will break

BOTH:
We only have tonight
They?re turning out the lights
And I can?t read your mind, so say it
If I could find a way
To show you that the pain
Is worth it any day, I?d show it

HE: It might kill be baby, I can?t tell
Deal me in and cast your spell
Oh my chances they are next to nil
I?ll keep playing til I get my fill

SHE: Have a glass of wine and maybe you will find
You?ll want to spend the night together
Give it one more day and maybe you will say
Baby we can stay together

BOTH: It always ends the same
We?re never gonna change
Still we play
And all the hands
Are the same
In the lovin? game
