GAME

I need to get to know you
thought as I saw you standing there
maybe this time I’ll put the rules away

I badly need to get near you
Thought as I brushed past your body there
Maybe this time I’ll choose not to play

But the game has its rules
And you know what they say
But if I just got to know you
What would the harm be any way
If I let myself not hold back

First we gotta play the game
Weigh each smile
Not good to play it straight
Everything in its time
You know the rules of the game
You have to set the pace
Careful what you say
No need to play it fair.

Never before have I felt so
Struck by the way you just looked at me
Like you could know me
Better than anyone
Shocked by the sudden craving
Your touch woke up in my guarded heart
I struggle not to give into your warm eyes

First we gotta play the game
Weigh each smile
Not good to play it straight
Everything in its time
You know the rules of the game
You have to set the pace
Careful what you say
No need to play it fair

Hey now – I want to give in and exhale
Hey now – what do you say?
