As I watch your face I can see my life go by You mean everyhing to me Just can't take no more Throw a smile my way And the pain I feel inside Turns to love for you And I'm yours Do lovers ever need to hide The things they really fell inside I simply need you to need me Can't you see Once I hoped to be Your lover and your friend It just can't go on Your love games Your love games Do lovers ever need to hide The things they really feel inside If you won't show your heart to me Set me free Now the time has come To show you how I feel The love I gave to you I can't give no more Even now I see The salt tears n your eyes But it can't go on Your love games
