I played the game , still it's not worth it   Like a woman in the rain   I close my eyes   I'm on the shelf   I know myself      I've seen the lights of every city   Tried to work out where I am   I close my mind for the day   I know the way      I played the game , still it's not worth it   Like a woman in the rain   So I close my eyes I'm on the shelf   I know myself      There's never ever anybody to rely on   There isn't time to count the shoulders I have cried on   That's just circumstances, I must take my chances   But, baby you don't know what I'm saying   But I guess that's not true, and you know that's true   But there's a method to my madness      I played the game, still it's not worth it   Like a woman in the rain   So I close my eyes for the day   And all the way
