Lyrics
Playing Your Game
I have this picture of you in my mind, Flashing before me in my inner eye,
I'm so amazed by the way it still shines, And after all this time I can't say why
I love your lips, I love your eyes, I love the look that still can paralyze
And though you've left me with no Hope to win
I'll still be playing your game, I'll still be feeling the same
I'll still be playing your game, Do count me in, do count me in
The winds of fortune betray me this time, I ventured most of my heart
And all of my mind, And all that's left is a hint of the crime
A mental picture of you so sublime
I love your clothes, I love your hair, I love your look but it's so hard to bear
I'm left with visions of what I can't win
And still I'm playing your game, And still I'm feeling the same
And still I'm playing your game, Your turn to spin, your turn to spin
You had a full house, You kept a gamblers face
You knew that I could go for any stakes
A lonely jack of hearts, Against a diamond ace
You never clued me in on what it takes
You never clued me in on what it takes
You've never shown if there's warmth you possess,
Your mental image is cool with finesse,
And your response to my love and caress,
Is what a statue could give me for less,
I love your face and all of that paint, Your face is such, emotions are so faint
Yet somewhere in me I still hope to win
And I keep playing your game, And I keep feeling the same
And I keep playing your game, Let me back in, let me back in
I'll still be playing your game, I'll still be feeling the same
I'll still be playing your game, Do count me in, do count me in
I'll still be playing your game, I'll still be feeling the same
I'll still be playing your game, Your turn to spin, your turn to spin
I'll still be playing your game, I'll still be feeling the same
I'll still be playing your game, Let me back in, Please let me in
