Playing the game

Chanson : Otherwise, Morcheeba

Paroles

They wanted me here
 Just to show you my face
 But when it comes to the crunch
 I just hide in disgrace

You're calling me mad
 But I know you're the same
 'Cause you got to be seen to be playing the game
 Yes we got to be seen to be playing, the game

It ain't gonna hurt now
 If you open up your eyes
 You're making it worse now
 Everytime you criticise
 I'm under your curse now
 But I call it compromise
 I thought that you were wise
 But you were otherwise

A specimen like you
 I would love to obtain
 I asked a tedious guy if he'll tell me your name
 I'd love to impress you
 With a back somersault

I wanna take out your love
 But it's locked in a vault
 I wanna take up your love
 But it's locked in a vault

It ain't gonna hurt now
 If you open up your eyes
 You're making it worse now
 Everytime you criticise
 I'm under your curse now
 But I call it compromise
 I thought that you were wise
 But you were otherwise

When I open my mouth
 I'm so brutally honest
 And I can't expect that kind of love from you

When you open your mouth
 Your teeth are beautifully polished
 And I can't extract the pain you're going through
 No I can't explain
 The pain you're going through

It ain't gonna hurt now
 If you open up your eyes
 You're making it worse now
 Everytime you womanise
 I'm under your curse now
 But I call it compromise
 I'm under your curse

It ain't gonna hurt now
 If you open up your eyes
 You're making it worse now
 Everytime you criticise
 I'm under your curse now
 But I call it compromise
 I thought that you were wise
 But you were otherwise
