Lyrics

I told you no, I didn't mean it
I never showed the love I was feeling
I wanted you so, I never said it
How could I know that you would really go?
Oh woe, oh

chorus:
Playing hard-to-get left me lonely and free
Playing hard-to-get left me in a place I didn't want to be
Playing hard-to-get though I knew
I wanted to be with you
And from the outset I never wanted to play hard-to-get

I tried to be cool when I was on fire
I've been a fool and a liar
I was aglow, then I quenched your desire
How could I know that you would really go?
Oh, woe, oh

Bridge:
Games will never work
They always end up hurting
Someone undeserving
Or yet who's playing hard-to-get
