Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't want a piece of that

'Cause I know there's no peace in that

I can tell myself a thousand times

But you can make a toy of me

And I'll agree that maybe I just couldn't see

Couldn't see that there ain't nothing wrong with us at all

[Verse 2]

But you keep on playin' games with me, games

And you always gotta play with me, play

And I hate the way you break and you take and you turn me down

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

Games with me, games

And you always gotta play with me, play

And I hate the way you break and you take and you turn me down

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

[Verse 3]

I know I should trust my gut

'Cause I know that there's something up

I just hate the place that that path would lead me down

And you say that there's nothing wrong

And I long to take you at your word, but then

All along you're hiding even when you're by my side

[Verse 4]

And you keep on playin' games with me, games

And you always gotta play with me, play

And I hate the way you break and you take and you turn me down

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

Games with me, games

And you always gotta play with me, play

And I hate the way you break and you take and you turn me down

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

[Verse 5]

You're lyin'

And everything with you is tryin'

And I don't wanna keep on cryin'

If I'm the only one

And I've been

Telling everyone I'm fine, when

I feel like I lost my mind

Am I the only one?

[Verse 6]

If I knew it all along, was I wrong

To take you at your word, but then all along

You're hiding even when you're by my side

[Verse 7]

And you keep on playing games with me, games

And you always gotta play with me, play

And I hate the way you break, and you take, and you tear me down

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

Games with me, games

And you always gotta play with me, play

And I hate the way you break, and you take, and you tear me down

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

[Verse 8]

You're lyin'

And everything with you is tryin'

And I don't wanna keep on cryin'

If I'm the only one

And I've been

Telling everyone I'm fine, when

I feel like I lost my mind

Am I the only one?

[Verse 9]

(Off right now)

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
