Mind Games Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I foresee it's true
That you would love me better if I couldn't screw
Up all your moves that make me wanna run away
But I got stuck with faulty legs
I believe it's true
That you would screw me if I let you in my bedroom
And if I did, then do I try to move away?
'Cause I know you like mind games
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I ever have to notice?
I've been standing here and I don't know why
Did you ever even see me try?
[Chorus]
Do you-ooh-ooh, see me now?
Do you-ooh-ooh-oh, see me now?
Do you-ooh-ooh, see me now?
See me now, see me now, oh, see me now?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Bet I look amusing
'Cause my addiction to these contradictions make it confusing
And if I walk away, I'm scared I won't find other muses
'Cause I know you like golden days
I don't understand
You claiming I'm a handful when you show up all empty-handed
The way you say you love me like you've just been reprimanded
'Cause I know you like mind games
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I ever have to notice?
I've been standing here and I don't know why
Did you ever even see me try?
[Chorus]
Do you-ooh-ooh, see me now?
Do you-ooh-ooh-oh, see me now?
Do you-ooh-ooh, see me now?
See me now, see me now?
Do you-ooh-ooh, see me now?
Do you-ooh-ooh-oh, see me now?
Do you-ooh-ooh, see me now?
See me now, see me now, see me now?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
[Outro]
Do you, oh, oh
Do you, oh, oh
Do you, oh, oh
See me now, see me now, see me now?
