Playin' The Love Game

(album: The Dells vs. The Dramatics - 1974)

(Silly, silly, love games)
I'm so tired, tired, tired
(Silly little love games)
Tired of playing these foolish love games
(Silly little love games)

It's a shame, it's a shame
Things have gotten so bad
Your lips say you're glad to see me
And your heart you wish I was dead
Since we first met
We find that our love is less appealing
When we see each other we pretend
We haven't lost that feeling

But I can't go on
Playing the love game
Can't play it no more
Playing the love game
Can't play it no more

As the time goes by
And I watch life slip away
It just don't seem to make no sense
To keep fooling each other each day
Always giving up my love
Giving it someone else
You swear to me that you're truthful
But you know you got someone else

But I can't go on
Playing the love game
Can't play it no more
Playing the love game
Can't play it no more

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Tired, tired
Of playing the love game
I'm so tired
Of playing the love game

I don't mind losin 'cause I know I can't win this time
But when you play around with people hearts
It ought to be a capital crime
It's a shame to keep on playing this game

But I can't go on
Playing the love game
Can't play it no more
Playing the love game
Can't play it no more

Tricks are for kids
Grownups fall in love
Don't play the game
It's such a shame
Tired, tired of playing this game
