You swore you'd never again, let yourself be tempted
Too many times in the past when you've opened up your heart
You've had it broken in pieces, by too many lies
Still it's hard to acknowledge the past
When she flashes those eyes
Over and over the song skips
Just as the final refrain fades away
Like fools we are caught in the game
Caught in the game
Caught in the game again
Caught in the game
Caught in the game
I swore I'd never again catch myself believin'
Too many times I've been hurt -- and it makes you hard inside
But when I saw you in the city tonight
Was it just imagination
Or did your eyes burn a little too bright
For purely conversation
Over and over the lights flash down at the corner arcade
Swept away
Like fools we are caught in the game
Caught in the game
Caught in the game again
Caught in the game
Caught in the game
Over and over the song skips
Just as the final refrain fades away
Like fools we are caught in the game
Caught in the game
Caught in the game again
Caught in the game
Caught in the game
