Is this a game you're playing? I don't understand what's going on I can't see through your frown, first you're up then you're down You're keeping me from someone I want to know. And I need you tonight Yes I need you tonight And I'll show you a sunset if you stay with me till dawn. It's the same old situation Every word so finely placed Running around my concentration is the feeling that I've just got to break out and say Oh I need you tonight Yes I need you tonight And I'll show you a sunset if you stay with me till dawn. Is this a game you're playing? Playing with my heart Oh stop playing with my heart And I'll show you a sunset if you'll stay with me till dawn.
