Lyrics
I don't want a piece of that
'Cause I know there's no peace in that
I can tell myself a thousand times
But you can make a toy of me
And I'll agree that maybe I just couldn't see
Couldn't see that there ain't nothing wrong with us at all

But you keep on playing games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
Games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

I know I should trust my gut
'Cause I know that there's something up
I just hate the place that that path would lead me down
And you say that there's nothing wrong
And I long to take you at your word, but then
All along you're hiding even when you're by my side

And you keep on playing games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
Games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

You lying
And everything with you is trying
And I don't wanna keep on crying
If I'm the only one
And I been telling everyone I'm fine
But I feel like I lost my mind, oh
Am I the only one?

If I knew it all along
Was I wrong to take you at your word but then
All along you're hiding even when you're by my side

And you keep on playing games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
Games with me, games
And you always gotta play with me, play
And I hate the way you break and you take and you tear me down
Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now

You lying
And everything with you is trying
And I don't wanna keep on crying
If I'm the only one
(Off right now)
And I been telling everyone I'm fine
But I feel like I lost my mind, oh
Am I the only one?
(Off right now)

Boy, you really oughta knock it off right now
