Whizzer sings about the ‘games he plays’ – games being a running motif throughout the musical. In this case, the games are the ways he is expected to act as a queer man and his reflection on his relationship with Marvin.
The Games I Play (March of the Falsettos) Lyrics
[WHIZZER]
I don't look for trouble
I do not accept blame
I've a good and a bad side
But they're one and the same
Ask me to arouse you
I will rise and obey
These are the games I play
I screw every morning
Then bathe and drink tea
I been playing canasta
Disastarously
All my recreation seems to suit me okay
These are the games I play
It's tough with love
Love's tough to show
Let me face the music
It's a song that I was waiting to hear so long
So long ago
I bet on the horses
I die by degree
I am sure his divorce is
A tribute to me
Ask me if I love him
It depends on the day
These are the games I play
It's tough, my friend
Love's looking strong
Play again the music
It's a song that I been waiting to hear
For much too long
Years, years too long
It hurts not to love him
It hurts when love fades
It's hard when part of him
Is off playing family charades
Ask me if I need him
Get him out of my way
These are
These are the games
These are the games
These are the only games I play
