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 be 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?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child beginning to grow

[Verse 2]
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 cared for you?
Could you feel the same way, too?
I wanna know
[Chorus]
The name of the game
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling, you give me no choice, 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?
Tell me please 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child beginning to grow

[Verse 2]
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 cared for you?
Could you feel the same way, too?
I wanna know
Oh yes, I wanna know

[Chorus]
The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face that 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?
(Got a feeling, you give me no choice, but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face that 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?
(Got a feeling, you give me no choice, but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
