I tried to tell you boy    It can't be tonight    It just isn't right    You've got to understand    When there's hesitation    You've got to be patient    It's not to win or lose    It's how you play    You've got to find a way    To make me stay    Oh can't you see    We're losing ground    You better slow it down    Or walk away       Chorus:    I'm not giving you my heart    Right from the start    I got to know    Your not learning to love from me    I got no secrets in the dark    Right from the start    I got to know you'll stay       Just 'cause I wanted you    Don't take advantage    Don't take me for granted    I need much more than this    Can't --- affection , some real attention    It's not to win or lose    It's how you play    You've got to find a way    To make me stay    Oh can't you see    We're losing ground    You better slow it down    Or walk away       Chorus (1x)       It's not to win or lose    It's how you play    You've got to find a way    To make mistakes    Oh can't you see    We're losing ground    You better slow it down    Or walk away       Chorus (1x)
