All right... yeah! Did you ever come up lame When you played the game of love My baby she likes to hurt me It's worse than broken bones Worse than open wounds My baby she likes playing dirty She kicked me when I was down Now I can't get up Looks like I'm gonna need a stretcher again boys CHORUS Cause she broke my heart She bust my soul I've been injured in the game of love But I like girls and rock n' roll I've been injured in the game of love I know you put your guard down Before the gun sounds C'mon babe I wanna score tonight Because the game was fun Now it's 4th and 1 C'mon baby don't say no tonight Cause when the night is through I am still be wanting you And I gotta walk all the way home tonight REPEAT CHORUS
