I Won't Play

(album: A Joyful Noise - 2012)

You get the wrong idea from someone else

How you live with her, instead of live with yourself

What's your secret, what's your secret, what's your secret?


It's a mystery how you sleep at night

And it seems to me, the harder you try
You're digging deeper,
and deeper, and deeper!


And the blame is the name, is the name of the game

Then I won't play, if it means losing to you

I'm on a first name basis with your victims of love

I give you so many chances, but you screw them all up

Oh, it's in pieces, in pieces, in pieces

Oh, oh, oh,
All your jokes are on me,

But who's laughing now?

You're ancient history,
Another face in the crowd

How're you doing, you doing, you doing

Common decency, imagine the love

That with the sympathy just wasn't deserved

And she won't either, don't either, won't either


And the blame is the name, is the name of the game

Then I won't play, if it means losing to you

I'm on a first name basis with your victims of love

I give you so many chances, but you screw them all up

Oh, it's in pieces, in pieces, in pieces


And the blame is the name, is the name of the game

Then I won't play, if it means losing to you

I'm on a first name basis with your victims of love

I give you so many chances, but you screw them all up

Oh, it's in pieces, in pieces, in pieces
