I Know the Game Lyrics

Time to pay the rent baby
Gotta try and work harder
Really goin' nowhere fast
You're not really goin' much farther
Gotta take a break baby
Try and make my load lighter
I'm missin' somethin' that I need
Never been much of a fighter

Well maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby you know
They were mine to make
I know the game
But I don't want to play it
I know the word
But I don't want to say it
I've got the bill
But I don't want to pay it
I know the game
But I ain't gonna play it this time

You watch me like a hawk, baby
I know somethin's gotta give
Listen to the way you talk, baby
This ain't no way to live
Everything I dn't have
Well it all belongs to you
I'm doin' the best that I can
Baby what you want me to do

Well maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby you know
They were mine to make
I know the game
But I don't want to play it
I know the word
But I don't want to say it
I've got the bill
But I don't want to pay it
I know the game
But I ain't gonna play it this time
The old ways are dead and gone
And the door is open wide
Anything can happen now, you can see me
Standin' on a thin line

Well maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby you know
They were mine to make
I know the game
But I don't want to play it
I know the word
But I don't want to say it
I've got the bill
But I don't want to pay it
I know the game
But I ain't gonna play it this time
