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?
