Why don't you ever listen?
It's you I'm talking to
This time it's your decision
We're into something new

Why can't you reconsider

Reject me if you dare
Give me what I'm asking
And save it all for me
Love that's everlasting
That's how it's meant to be

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

My neighbor plays Guitar Hero III and he has lots of fans.
He's better at it than other people, nobody can play it like he can.
He loves this game and he jams everyday.
He gets the highest score every time he plays.
This is the only game he plays and it really rocks.
He can't put his guitar down, he's king of the XBOX.
Sometimes it gets on his parents nerves because it's pretty loud.
Lots of people come to see it, he always draws a crowd.
People love this game because it's loads of fun.
Nobody can beat my neighbor's score because he's number one.

New Fool At An Old Game

(steve bogard, rick giles, sheila
Stephen)
You sure know what youre doing holding me this way.
And Ill go where you lead me
Anywhere you say.
Youve got me where you want me.
So darling please be kind.
Before you take it all, and i
Make that final fall.
Youve got to keep in mind im
A new fool at an old game.
A kid out of school, trying to find my way.
But I dont know the rules, teach me how to play.
Im just a new fool at an old game.
Maybe Im a dreamer, or maybe Im naive.
But when you say you love me I start to believe
That coal can turn to diamonds.
And this night will never end.
But if it isnt so, and I cry when you go.
Youve got to understand that
Im a new fool at an old game.
A kid out of school, trying to find my way.
But I dont know the rules, teach me how to play.
Im just a new fool at an old game

Nothing is Settled Or Is It?

Nothing is settled
the game is still open
We got nothing to lose
and everything to gain
Still there is one
who plays in my brain

He's a heck of a guy
with an excellent charm
and his humor excites me
from dusk till dawn

He knows all the right words
though he don't realize
he could make me talk for ages
aren't that a surprise?

He plays in my brain
like a wonderful game
and I hope that one day
he will look at me and say
Hey, girl,
you got me going crazy!

Any Other Fool

(dianne warren)
I couldnt see paradise right before my eyes
When I had you here by my side
I didnt know that no-one else
Could ever take your place
But, now I know
I know that I should have stayed
And seeing you tonight
I only wonder why
I ever said goodbye
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Any other fool would know I never
Should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me, oh, ahh, oh
Anyone else never would have let the feeling die
Anyone else would have fought to keep it alive
If they were in my shoes
Theyd know the love we had
Was love too good to lose
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Oh, any other fool would know
I never should have let you go
I had it all when you were loving me
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me, oh, oh, oh
I had it all when you were loving me
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Oh, any other fool would know
Never should have let you go
Had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Oh, oh, oh
Even a fool would still be there holding you
Any other fool would know
I never should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see

Bye Bye Bye

i'm doing this tonight
you're probably gonna start a fight
i know this can't be right
hey baby c'mon
i loved you endlessly
and you weren't there for me
so now it's time to leave and make it alone
i know that i can't take no more
it ain't no lie
i wanna see you out that door
baby bye bye bye

don't wanna be a fool for you
just another player in your game for two
you may hate me but it ain't no lie
baby bye bye bye
don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I've had enough
it might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
baby bye bye bye

just hit me with the truth
girl you're more than welcome to
so give me one good reason
baby c'mon
i lived for you and me
and now I've really come to see
that life would be much better once you're gone
i know that i can't take no more
it ain't no lie
i wanna see you out that door
baby bye bye bye

(chorus)

i'm givin' up i know for sure
i don't wanna be the reason for your love no
more
bye bye
i'm checking out i'm signing off
i don't wannna be the loser and i've had enough

i don't wanna be your fool
in this game for two
so i'm leavin' you behind

bye bye bye
i don't wanna make it tough
but i've had enough
and it ain't no lie
bye bye
i don't wanna be a fool for you
just another player in your game for two
i don't wanna be your fool
but it ain't no lie
baby bye bye bye
don't really wanna make it tough
i just wanna tell you that i've had enough
it might sound crazy but it ain't no lie

Those Same Games Played

Game players become hooked,
Until mesmerized...
To the playing of a game,
That remains the same unchanged.

It's much like the learning children do,
Of the letters in the alphabet.
Each letter is assigned something fixed,
And simplistic that sticks in their heads.

Once a game is remembered,
It doesn't matter who plays it.
But those who have chosen,
These games to play are not aware...
The testing of them occured long before,
They were born to realize...
Those same games played were always there!

Playing Your Game

(coverdale/moody/young)
Never wrote a single word I didnt want to say
So glad I got to know you better today
I never wrote a single word I didnt want to say
I want to see you tomorrow
If thats ok, thats ok
Ive seen a lot of everything I didnt want to know
Somebodys dying all the time
Ive seen a lot of everything I didnt want to know
Want to live tomorrow to come and go, you know, come and go
Im playing your game
And feeling just the same
Oh Im just your fool around, Im just your fool around
But I dont get you down
Am I gonna see you when the lights have all gone down?
Will I hear you calling out my name?
Am I gonna see you when the lights have all gone down?
Wanna hear you say it
I played your game
This aint your game...

Fates Game

fate plays with me,
Day in and day out,
I never get what I want no matter how much I plee,
People say things will work but in my head it’s an utter doubt,
I’m heart broke and beat down,
My tears take form but no life,
It’s like my life is cursed and bound,
I feel like fate and I are in an uncompromising strife,
My emotions are tossed from left to right,
There is no outlet for my feelings,
Life to me is one big fright,
How I feel isn’t fate’s dealings,
I’m the one who should lead my life!
I’m the one who should determine what to do!
Freedom from fate’s grip is what I thrive,
I thought I knew,
But I thought wrong that I determined my own living,
I’m not perfect but then again no one is true,
But fate can be so unforgiving,
I wish I could just get up and flee,
But I’m in a game,
A game that fate plays with me.

Game Of Love

Its just one year ago
that ive met you at a show
you were the clown
i was the fool
Right now its vice versa
and i know its just because
youve always been
the fool for me
Do we feel the same way
or do want to play the game of love
on and on
You took me to a bar
to tell me who you are
you never know
what you want
And you want me for good
just if youre in the mood
to spend the next
night with me

Fool For You Anyway

Well I miss you honey
A little more every day
And I know if I kissed you
Youd be comin back home to stay
cause I know I was wrong
But how long do I have to pay?
You know you belong here beside me
Im a fool for you anyway
Im a fool for you anyway
cause Im a fool for you anyway
Well I cried for you so long
My river of tears ran dry
And I tried to be so strong
But grew weaker as time went by
You know your love left a mark on me
I dont think it will fade away
Ill sit here and wait til you come home
cause Im a fool for you anyway
Im a fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
You know your love left a mark on me, on me
I dont think it will fade away
Ill sit here and wait til you come home
cause Im a fool for you anyway
cause Im a fool for you anyway
Im a fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
cause Im a fool for you anyway
A fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway
Im a fool for you anyway

I Was A Fool To Care

I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I dont care even if I was a fool
Im still in love with you
Had I listened to the grapevine
I might have had my doubts
But I did my level best just to block them out
cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes
And it took a while for a fool to see
What his friends were on about
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I dont care even if I was a fool
Im still in love with you
Imagining your face
It almost fills the empty space before me
I can see you eyes and almost hear your lovely lies
I wish I was an old man
And love was through with me
I wish I was a baby on my mamas knee
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line
Just keeping track of time
Without all these memories
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
I was a fool to care
But I dont care even if I was a fool
Im still in love with you
Baby, yes, I am
I could have opened my eyes
I could have seen through your lies
I could have stood for no more
I could have walked out the door
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care
You werent nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.
