"The Name Of The Game" lyrics

The Name Of The Game

I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game
Does it mean anything to you
What's the name of the game
Can you feel it the way I do
Tell me please
Cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you
Could you feel the same way too
I wanna know

The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game
Your smile and the sound of your voice
Does it mean anything to you
Got a feeling you give me no choice
But it means a lot
What's the name of the game
Your smile and the sound of your voice
Can you feel it the way I do
Tell me please
Cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you
Could you feel the same way too
I wanna know
Oh yes I wanna know

The name of the game
I was an impossible case
Does it mean anything to you
But I think I can see in your face
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game
Your smile and the sound of your voice
Can you feel it the way I do
Got a feeling you give me no choice
But it means a lot
What's the name of the game
I was an impossible case
Does it mean anything to you
But I think I can see in your face
That it means a lot
What's the name of the game
