I don’t feel like playin’
People already confuse me enough in person
Now there’s trying to convey emotion electronically
I know there’s always static in my nerves when you touch me
And the guy sending all these texts messages is trying desperately
To make you understand
Games are for people who have something to lose
You don’t lose people
I don’t want to lose you
Game is bar talk for getting your dress off
Keep it on
Why don’t you
Let me be me
And you can be you
Let’s not pass go and not collect 200 dollars
Let’s just sit here a while
Yes that is a pawn in my pocket
But this was checkmate the moment I saw you
And my battle ship is sunk
And if you let me take you home tonight
I promise not to yell
“King Me!”
So don’t send me signals
Radio or Smoke
My receptor is off
You obviously have been missing the Morse Code
I’ve been nervously tapping onto the floor
“Just Kiss Me”
“Just Kiss Me”
Right up front
This one card stud
Always plays the joker
And will play tag if you promise to touch me back
Might get nervous and make it freeze tag
But I won’t jump ropes
And half the time I’ll catch half of the things you’re trying to secretly tell me
So if you could
Let me be me
And you be you
No games this time
