  • I've been wanting you
    For so long, it's a shame
    Oh, baby
    Every time I hear your name
    Oh, the pain
    Boy, how it hurts me inside

    ‘Cause every time we meet
    We play hide and seek
    I'm wondering what I should do
    Should I, dear, come up to you
    And say, “How do you do?”
    Would you turn me away

    You're as much to blame
    ‘Cause I know you feel the same
    I can see it in your eyes
    But I've got no time to live this lie
    No, I've got no time to play your silly games
    Silly games

    Yet, in my mind I say
    “If he makes his move today
    I'll just pretend to be shocked”
    Oh, baby
    It's a tragedy
    That you hurt me
    We don't even try

    You're as much to blame
    ‘Cause I know you feel the same
    I can see it in your eyes
    But I've got no time to live this lie
    No, I've got no time to play your silly games
    Silly games

    Silly games
    Silly games (No, don't wanna play)
    Silly games (Your silly)

    No, I've got no time to play your silly games
