The Game - Red Herring

I see you walk into the room.

You take a seat, I’m wonderin' what to do.

And you got me feelin' all brand new.

I catch your more-than-passing glance,

And take the chance

To make your party two.

You ask my favorite movie through a smile.

We talk and spin the clock a while.

Two days pass, 'til we cross paths again.

And things go on,

From dusk to dawn,

We’re both turned on to the same song

Or so I thought.

And I don’t know how you can say nothing’s wrong,

When your words are weak

But body’s movin' strong.

With every look, I’m a fish on a hook.

Throw me back or reel me in.

We give n' take, I play it safe

And let you make the moves.

You’re takin' on the givin' of the signs I want from you.

'Cause when we’re chillin'

Just the two of us.

You’re brushin' up against me so much

I got contact buzz.

So now I figure

It’s time to make my move.

'Cause I can’t keep holding back,

When you’re laying down your groove.

So I tell you how I feel

And have felt all along.

'Cause I guessed you felt the same way,

But I guess that I guessed wrong.

And I don’t know how you can say nothing’s wrong,

When your words are weak

But body’s movin' strong.

With every look, I’m a fish on a hook.

Throw me back or reel me in.

What I thought I knew

'Bout me and you

Was built on a house of cards stacked to fall.

And if this is a game,

It’s the dealer to blame

So I’m foldin' this hand you dealt me.

And if you wanna deal

And ante up with your appeal,

I’m afraid you might come up

A little short on funds.

You can’t have both, you got to choose.

If you play both sides, you play to lose.

And now you know,

'Cause you’re playing all alone.

(I'll make you feel brand new)

You’re playing all alone.

(Come on and make your party two)

Hope you have fun on your own!

(Baby, nothing’s wrong)

'Cause I won’t be your fool no more.

(Nothing's wrong, Baby please, Baby please, nothing’s wrong)

No, no more.
