Playing your game
your mother substitute
She is she
That you never screwed
Playing your game
Her life revolves round and round you
A total investment
Can't afford to love
You're the prize for her sacrifice - A kiss in the morning
A kiss late at night
She's closing her eyes
To those possible lies
Keeping the doubts
Locked tight up inside
Playing your game
She taking care of you
Watching out for your head
When you're sick
She puts you to bed
She props you up
nurses you through
she's here to look after you
Playing your game
with the rules that you've set
We're on either side
Am I such a threat
Playing your game
Taking care of your needs
She is your security
I may remark on your insensitivity
But you know she wouldn't listen to me
