I Won’t Play the Game

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of being quiet and smiling
When I'm feeling alone and insecure
Friends all back your alibis
Just like you they're full of lies
Excuses don't interest me any more

[Chorus]
I won't play the game
Go play it with yourself
I won't play the game
I ain't got the time
I won't play the game
Go fool somebody else
I won't play

[Verse 2]
You're always trying to lay the law down
But it's one law for you and one for me
They say that love is free
You'll pay for hurting me
From now on that's the way it's gonna be

[Chorus]
‘Cause I won't play the game
Go play it with yourself
I won't play the game
I ain't got the time
I won't play the game
Go fool somebody else
I won't play

[Saxophone solo]

I won't play the game
Go play it with yourself
I won't play the game
I ain't got the time
I won't play the game
Go fool somebody else
I won't play the game
My life is fine

I won't play the game
I won't play the game
I won't play the game
I won't play
