The Name Of The Game Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

[Pre-Chorus]
I was an impossible case
No one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know

[Chorus]
What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Do you feel it the way I do?

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me please 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child beginning to grow

[Bridge]
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too
I wanna know
The name of the game
[Verse 2]
I have no friends, no one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

[Pre-Chorus]
Your smile and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know

[Chorus]
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
But it means a lot
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me please 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child beginning to grow
