Here we go again, it's the game we love
Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs
You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs
Hit you with the Ace of Spade, in your face, and shrugged
Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs
We was just planning a wedding, Caucasian doves

You was just tellin' your mans, that you hate the clubs

Now we in the crying game, heart laced with slugs



Are you alone? Do you need someone?

Is it too late to talk? Did I wait too long?

Thousand words don't change a thing

Is it only three? Three words that you're missing?



Where did you go? Couldn't see

I was too busy

Could've just said no

Where would you go? I think I know



Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o

We're 'bout to play here

We're 'bout to play here

Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o

We're 'bout to play

The crying game



I could've given everything

Don't wanna let the tears begin

We're 'bout to play here

The crying game

I could've given everything

Don't wanna let the tears begin

We're 'bout to play here

The crying game



Welcome to the crying game where you lose your soul

Where it ain't no easy cash, you got to use the toll

Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control

Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes

Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious

Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what?

Another slap to the face, another uppercut

I'm just abusive by nature, not cause I hate ya

Not cause I wanna, guess I wanna imitate ya

I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya

But is you stayin' or goin'?

I couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it

How come you never show it?

All this love you speak of

All I want is to love and to be loved

(To love and to be loved)



I'm losin' a thing I thought I'd win

And I'm coming undone

Cause the tears don't end



Where did you go? Couldn't see

I was too busy

Could've just said no

Where would you go? I think I know



Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o

We're 'bout to play here

We're 'bout to play here

Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o

We're 'bout to play

The crying game



I could've given everything

Don't wanna let the tears begin

We're 'bout to play here

The crying game



I could've given everything

Don't wanna let the tears begin

We're 'bout to play here

The crying game



Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o

Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
