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?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
