Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've seen you twice
In a short time
Only a day since we started
It seems, to me
For every time
I'm getting more open-hearted
[PreChorus]
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling you give me no choice
And it means a lot to me
So, I wanna know
[Chorus]
What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me, please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a curious child
Beginning to grow
[Refrain]
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way, too?
I wanna know
The name of the game
[Verse 2]
I have no friends
No one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here
Talking to you
No wonder I get excited
[PreChorus]
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling you give me no choice
And it means a lot to me
So, I wanna know
What's the name of the game?
[Chorus]
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
Does it mean anything to you?
Got a feeling you give me no choice
But it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
I was an impossible case
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me, please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a curious child
Beginning to grow
[Refrain]
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
But, trusting you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way, too?
I wanna know
Oh, yes, I wanna know
The name of the game
[Outro]
I was an impossible case
Does it mean anything to you?
But I think, I can see in your face
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
Can you feel it the way I do?
Got a feeling you give me no choice
But it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
I was an impossible case
Does it mean anything to you?
But I think, I can see in your face
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
Your smile, and the sound of your voice
Can you feel it the way I do?
