[00:00.014]Start playin'
[00:02.825]We talk about these players
[00:07.124]We also talk about this game
[00:10.180]Heh, this game
[00:16.123]Is something everybody wants to know about
[00:20.517]But who's the victim?
[00:23.512]Is it the player?
[00:26.283]The one bein' played?
[00:29.225]Or simply this game?
[00:33.995]Early in the morning, he waits by her door
[00:37.782]But she's not there, 'cause she don't care someone else she adores
[00:40.812]And it's a quarter after midnight
[00:42.859]The girl's by her phone
[00:45.201]But he won't call, and the tears fall
[00:46.958]So she sleeps all alone
[00:48.465](We're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)
[00:52.484]The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on
[00:55.753](To a love, that is just an illusion)
[00:59.775]Get to the back of the line
[01:01.297]Love will call you in time
[01:03.335]On the kaleidoscope of love
[01:06.446]People go 'round and 'round in circles
[01:10.018]Falling in love and feeling pain
[01:13.815]But it's the playa, not the game
[01:17.333]See the parade of smiling faces
[01:20.881]No masquerade can fade the shame
[01:24.726]Too many tracks to hide the traces
[01:28.616]But it's the player, not the game
[01:32.138]It's not the game
[01:33.268]I keep all my feelings in a dark and deep place
[01:37.046]Never go there, 'cause it's so rare true love shows it's face
[01:40.560]I stare out my window, when I can't sleep at night
[01:44.075]Many voices, many choices, but I know when it's right
[01:47.852](We're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)
[01:51.390]The feeling is wrong, still we keep holding on
[01:54.655](To a love, that is just an illusion)
[01:58.947]Fall to the back of the line

[02:16.438]See the parade of smiling faces
[02:19.969]No masquerade can fade the shame
[02:23.765]Too many tracks to hide the traces
[02:27.414]But it's the player, not the game
[02:31.207]Blame it on the player (don't fall too fast)
[02:36.827]Not the game
[02:38.604]Blame it on the player (don't fall too fast)
[02:43.701]Not the game

[02:58.872]Not the game
[03:02.659]Oh, oh, oh
[03:04.662]On the kaleidoscope of love
[03:08.185]People go 'round and 'round in circles
[03:11.747]Falling in love and feeling pain

[03:41.032]People go round and around, yeah
[03:42.735]Listen to, feelin' pain, yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:45.818]But it's the player not the game

[03:54.963]We go round
[03:57.897]Every day, all day, seven days
[04:00.626]But it's the player not the game
[04:02.396]Yeah
[04:03.408]Sometimes in love
[04:04.496]On a kaleidoscope of love
[04:07.532]People go round and round in circles
[04:10.564]You go around and around and around and around again
[04:11.033]Falling in love and feeling pain
[04:14.799]But it's the player not the game
[04:18.428]See the parade of smiling faces

Start playin'
We talk about these players
We also talk about this game
Heh, this game
Is something everybody wants to know about
But who's the victim?
Is it the player?
The one bein' played?
Or simply this game?

The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
