[Verse 1]
What can I say?
I think I had enough
I think you keep playing to play
Knowing that I feel sick
C'mon, just say it
Just say you like to play
This game just to drive me wild
[Chorus]
I let you pretend
But you know truth is that
I love you to death
Like you love this game
[Post-Chorus]
This time
There's a common thread
[Verse 2]
And so I sit
And watch you play dumb
I'd like to see you play with the odds
On your plate instead
Come on, just say it
Just say you like to keep this pace
Just to drive me wild
[Chorus]
I let you pretend
But you know the truth is that
I love you to death
Like you love this game
[Post-Chorus]
That keeps me hanging tight
[Verse 3]
What can I say?
I think your head's fucked
Go on, drive me wild
[Chorus]
This time
There's a constant theme
This time
There's a common thread
[Post-Chorus]
That keeps me hanging tight
And it tells me something's right
[Outro]
What can I say?
I fuckin' had enough
I think you just play what you play
Knowing that I feel sick
C'mon, just say it
Just say you like to play this game
'Cause it drives me wild
