Playin' games again I can feel the apprehensionFor every word that leaves your mouthIs swallowed by the tensionAnd if indeed it helps at allI relate to what you're frightened of'Cause so many things these days have been crushedIn the name of lo-o-oveActin' strong again as if you don't really need meBut the weakness that you once betrayedTurned to be the strength that freed meAnd I won't ask a thing of youThat you're not secure in giving of'Cause so many things these days have been crushedIn the name of lo-oveNow I know it's not that easyWhen you don't know where you standAt times I think I've never stood at allLook around you'll see for every woman, child and manLove has played it's games upon us allPlayin' roles again both actin' so defensiveAs if some pre-programmed machineTook over all our sensesI'd trade everything I ownFor the thrill of fa-a-allin' in love'Cause so many things these days have been savedIn the name - of lo-ove
