Story Behind The Song
Another unplanned song. Bassist and drummer were testing equipment and bassist took off with the bass line...drummer followed and I heard a melody. I wrote the lyrics that night, and the recording is the second take which we kept and put on the album.

Lyrics
Verse I
You say you love me
But you don't show it
You say you need me
But I don't know it
You say you want me, baby
But I'm not feelin' it
Your love is really not for me
I'm done with you, that's it!
Verse II
You say its not serious
But it don't matter
Your cell phones' ringin'
I bet that's her - I know its her!
Just let me go now
I'll do the same
You said I was the only one
And I don't wanna play this game!
Chorus (Walk down)
Don't cha play
Play the game
The game you can't
Afford to lose
You lost my love
Its her you choose
Verse III
A'riverderci!
It's really a shame
A good thing gone now
Carry on with the blame (can you take it?!)
Don't bother calling
I won't be there, no
My life goes on without you
Flattery gets you no where
Chorus
Don't cha play
Play the game
The game you can't
Afford to lose
You lost my love
Its her you choose
Adlib scat -->fadeout-->end
