Lyrics

[Intro]
Baby
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Even in my heart, I see
You're not being true to me
Deep within my soul, I feel
Nothing's like it used to be
[PreChorus]
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
[Chorus]
Quit playing games with my heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
With my heart (Before you tear us apart)
My heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
I should've known from the start (You know you've got to stop)
From my heart (You're tearing us apart)
My heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
[Verse 2]
I live my life the way
To keep you coming back to me
Everything I do is for you
So what is it that you can't see?
[PreChorus]
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
You better...
[Chorus]
Quit playing games with my heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
With my heart (Before you tear us apart)
My heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
I should've known from the start (You know you've got to stop)
From my heart (You're tearing us apart)
My heart
Quit playing games
[Bridge]
Baby, baby
The love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hanging here forever
Oh, baby, baby, this is not right
Let's stop this tonight
[Bridge]
Baby
Oh-oh
Quit playing games
Na-na-na, na, na-na, na
Na-na-na, na-na, baby
Na-na-na, na, na-na
[PreChorus]
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
[Verse 3]
Quit playing games with my heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
With my heart (Before you tear us apart)
My heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
I should've known from the start (You know you've got to stop)
From my heart (You're tearing us apart)
My heart (Quit playing games with my heart)
[Outro]
Quit playing games with my heart
Na-na-na, na, na-na, na
Na-na-na, na-na, baby
Na-na-na, na, na-na
Quit playing games with my heart (Na-na-na, na, na-na, na)
With my heart (Na-na-na, na-na, baby)
My heart
My heart
