Lyrics: Silly Game

I never thought u would be the one
That i’d wanna run 2
I never thought u would be the one
That would make me care
And even tho u done me wrong
4 some strange reason i can’t xplain
I get happy knowing u phoned
Cuz your voice could kill my every pain
Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought u would be the one
That i’d wanna give 2
A diamond ring, anything that u ask me 2
But there u were, bragging 2 your friends
Making up a story that’s so lame
That i was down 2 be your sugardaddy
One way ticket to ghetto fame
Why do we play this silly game?

Every other night u weren’t at home
Out in the streets, just acting grown
Never with a bodyguard or chaperone
Then i hear a rumour that breaks my heart
Instead of taking care of yourself
U’re tearing yourself apart
Now why u wanna
(why u wanna, why u wanna …)
Now why u wanna go and do that, love?

Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought u would be the one
(that i’d wanna run 2) that i’d wanna run 2
I never thought u’d be the one
That would make me care
No matter how far i run
I’ll never be the same (i’ll never be the same)
In the end, in the end, there’s only us 2 blame
Why do we play this …
Why do we play this silly …
Why do we play this silly game?

Yeah
Ooh-ooh
Tell me why? (tell me why?)
Oh why? (oh why?)
Oh why – why?

Why do we play this silly game?
Game
