[Verse 1 - Nicki Minaj:] Here we go again, it's the game we love Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs Hit you with the Ace of Spade, in your face, and shrugged Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs We was just planning a wedding, caught cagin' doves You was just tellin' your mans, that you hate the clubs Now we in the crying game, heart laced with slugs
[Bridge 1 - Nicki Minaj:] Are you alone? Do you need someone? Is it too late to talk? Did I wait too long? Thousand words don't change a thing Is it only three? Three words that you're missing?
[Pre-Chorus - Jessie Ware:] Where did you go? Couldn't see I was too busy Could've just said no Where would you go? I think I know
[Chorus - Jessie Ware:] Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o We're 'bout to play here We're 'bout to play here Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o We're 'bout to play The crying game
[Post-Chorus x2 - Jessie Ware:] I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're 'bout to play here The crying game
[Verse 2 - Nicki Minaj:] Welcome to the crying game where you lose your soul Where it ain't no easy cash, you got to use the toll Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what? Another slap to the face, another uppercut I'm just abusive by nature, not cause I hate ya Not cause I wanna, guess I wanna imitate ya I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya But is you stayin' or goin'? I couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it How come you never show it? All this love you speak of All I want is to love and to be loved (To love and to be loved)
[Bridge 2 - Nicki Minaj:] I'm losin' a thing I thought I'd win And I'm coming undone Cause the tears don't end
