lyrics
We're two of a kind, you make me feel complete
But whatever I try only ends in defeat
I've tried a thousand ways to let you know
But I'll throw a double six and have one more go
Cause lately it's come to my attention
That I'm competing for your affections
I'm playing every token I've got to try to make a connection
(chorus)
But you just want to play games
With me
I wish you'd take me seriously
But you just want to play games
With me
Like Cluedo and Monopoly
I tell myself I'll reach you, whatever it takes
Climb every ladder while avoiding the snakes
But you just want to play games
We were up all night playing Twister
We played Hungry Hungry Hippos till my finger got a blister
But they're not the pleasures I'm looking for
I can say these words, but will they mean any more
If I spell them out on a triple word score?
(chorus)
There'll be no happily ever after
If I can only ever be your dungeon master
But you just want to play games
There's too many rules for me to remember
And you're making me fall apart like a tower of Jenga
You don't seem to notice, but I tell you it's true
Can't you see I'm head over heels for you?
One step closer and I'll be Buckaroo
Like a game of Operation you've stolen my heart
With those tweezers in your hand you've got it down to an art
You've kept me guessing, but I've got to know
Are we destined to never pass Go?
These trivial pursuits are not enough for me
I should have drawn the line at Pictionary
I'd walk away, but it's much too late
I'm caught in your mouse trap, there's no escape
Cause you just wanna play games
(chorus)
I guess I'll just accept that I've fallen madly
For the number one customer of Milton Bradley
Cause you just want to play games
