You played a shady game   You dried up all I had   Then you did it again   Oh how could you do that?   Just lies and token promises   You hit me where I stand   I guess I must deserve this   We all get dealt our hand      Keep yourself together   Keep it straight   Keep cool - keep cool   You wanna play in the game   Then you'd better mind the rules   There’s nothing to be gained   By screwing me now   It won't do- it won't do   It’s all gonna be coming back around to you      It’s just those games we play   Day and night   You chose this way   Be satisfied   It’s just those games we play   For wrong or right   Win or lose   Can’t give up the fight      The talk will keep you down   You won't know where you stand   Their praise will fade away   Can’t take dignity back   When friends become your enemies   You’ve cheated all you can   Guess that's the price you pay   We all get dealt our hand      Keep yourself together   Keep it straight   Keep cool - keep cool   You wanna play in the game   Then you'd better mind the rules   There’s nothing to be gained   By screwing me now   It won't do- it won't do   It’s all gonna be coming back around to you      It’s just those games we play   Day and night   You chose this way   Be satisfied   It’s just those games we play   For wrong or right   Win or lose   Can’t give up the fight      I cut you off my list   Only cause you insist that you are not my friend   And you are not the first to go   But the smaller it grows the bigger I count my win   Cause I have wasted too much time on reason and rhyme   Trying to justify your head   Now I don't mind how many times you trying take me on   Or if we never play again      It’s just those games we play   Day and night   You chose this way   Be satisfied   It’s just those games we play   For wrong or right   Win or lose   Can’t give up the fight
