[Verse 1]
I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game

We'rе spending the treasurе, oh, no
That love cannot afford
I know you can feel it
The sweetness restored

They're tired and lame
I don't need a pardon, no, no
There's no one left to blame
I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game
[Outro]
I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game
