You're talking to me, your eyes sticking on me
I get defenseless when you call my name
It cuts right through me, the way that you do me
You've got me begging, boy, I'm on my knees

* The games that you play, darling
Don't leave me this way

Your words abuse me, your actions amuse me
I close my eyes, but it's all the same
Your motions hurt me, emotions desert me
I feel so helpless when you walk my way

* repeat

Just turn your love around
When you do, you know I won't be found

Someday I will make you see
You'll be the one to believe That you're in love with me
Oh, darling, please can't you see
I'm burning It's now or never, boy, do you want me?

You're talking to me, your eyes sticking on me
I get defenceless when you call my name
It cuts right through me, the way that you do me
You've got me begging, boy, I'm on my knees

The games that you play, darling
Don't leave me this way

Just turn your love around
When you do, you know I won't be found

Someday I will make you see
You'll be the one to believe That you're in love with me
Oh, darling, please can't you see
I'm burning It's now or never, boy, do you want me?

Just say that you need me, just say that you want me
Don't you know that I'll soon be gone?
Admit that you need me, admit that you want me
Don't you know it shows, you're just so cold

You're talking to me, your eyes sticking on me
I get defenceless when you call my name
It cuts right through me, the way that you do me
You've got me begging, boy, I'm on my knees

The games that you play, darling
Don't leave me this way
The games that you play, darling
Don't leave me this way
