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
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?
Where did you go? Couldn't see I was too busy Could've just said no Where would you go? I think I know
We're 'bout to play here We're 'bout to play here We're 'bout to play The crying game
I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're 'bout to play here The crying game I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're 'bout to play here The crying game
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)
I'm losin' a thing I thought I'd win And I'm coming undone Cause the tears don't end
Where did you go? Couldn't see I was too busy Could've just said no Where would you go? I think I know
We're 'bout to play here We're 'bout to play here We're 'bout to play The crying game
I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're 'bout to play here The crying game I could've given everything Don't wanna let the tears begin We're 'bout to play here The crying game
I lied, I lied, I lied To keep you from breaking my heart
Even though I said I didn’t love you I lied I lied Even though I said I didn’t need you I lied I lied To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh Even though I said don’t touch me I lied, I lied I can’t fall for you, can’t give my all to you
I can’t let you think that imma let the game stall for you Gotta protect me you gotta sweat me You said you thought you was ready and I said let’s see But I ain’t mean that, I need some fucking proof Cause what happens if I fall in love then you cut me loose You just a heart breaker won’t let you break mine Cause I’ll be smashing windows and cutting them break lines
I lied Cause who knew if I should let myself go with you Who knows, who knows, so I lied To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh
Even though I said fuck you, I lied, I lied I thought eventually you would let me go That was my insecurities and my ego Missed my jump shot missed my free throw Miss the way we kiss miss the d o
Man it was good while it lasted That shit wasn’t real it was magic If it was a record it would have been classic But fuck you though, orgasmic This is what I gotta do to keep me from falling Stalling the truth, who knew what you’d Do if I let you in
My mama ain't raised no fool I am not your usual typical type Who would protect me if I never hide? Falling so fast I am afraid of you So I lied, I lied, I lied To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh To keep you from breaking my heart, ooh I lied, ooh baby, oooh Cause what if I let myself go with you
Am I just a fool? Blind and stupid for loving you Am I just a silly girl? So young and naive to think you were the one Who came to take claim of this heart Cold hearted shame you'll remain just afraid in the dark
And now the people are talking, the people are saying That you have been playing my heart like a grand piano The people are talking, the people are saying that you Have been playing my heart like a grand piano So play on, play on, play on, play on, play on, play on Play on, play on, play on, play on, play on
Am I being a fool? Wrapped up in lies and foolish truths What do I see in you? Maybe I'm addicted to all the things you do Cuz I keep thinking you were the one who came to take claim of this heart Cold hearted shame you'll remain just afraid in the dark
The people are talking, the people are saying That you have been playing my heart like a grand piano The people are talking, the people are saying that You have been playing my heart like a grand piano So play on, play on, play on, play on, play on, play on Play on, play on, play on, play on, play on
