Did We Really Ever Try
(J.P. Maunick / M. Edwards)
Chorus:
Did we really ever try to understand each other?
Or was it just a game that sometimes people play?
Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder?
Was it just a game that sometimes people play?
[Sometimes people play]
I wonder if
We ever listened
To a word
That the other had to say
All that we shared
Our inner treasures
Are used against each other as we fall
Chorus
I wonder if
Before we started
We could have known
That the road would end this way
What makes us give
Our hearts so freely
Only to find that we're strangers after all
Chorus
Night and day, night and day, day and night
Night and day, people play, day and night
We fool ourselves
Into believing
Our difference will surely change in time
So we proceed
Blissfully blinded
Throwing caution to the wind along the way

Got Me Missing You
(l. stansfield/i. devaney)
Spoken:
Sometimes people make mistakes
They play the game, play hard to get
Then it all goes wrong and they end up being lonely
Im one of those people
Got me missing you
Youve got me missing you
At the time it seemed ok
Nothing too serious I said
Just two people having fun
Or so I thought
At the time I was playing it cool
I had it all under control
But then I broke the golden rule
I went and said youd never have me
But baby youve got me...
Chorus:
Missing you
Every day every night
Youve got me missing you
Without you this aint a life
Got me missing you
And baby try as I might
Just cant stop this pain inside
If I could do it all again
Id say the things I truly meant
cos now youre gone Ive gone insane
Funny how I always said youd never have me
But baby youve got me...
Chorus
I stay up late at night cos
Ive been sleeping light
Ive made a full-time job of going out of my mind
Cant see one good reason
I should live my life without you
Without you

American Game
So here it goes
The story of my life so I've been told
Get on follow boy or you'll be left out in the cold
But I dont give a damn
'Cause I know who I am
And you don't gotta understand
'Cause I can't change for no man
I chose to go along the road less traveled
I chose to go the road less traveled yeah
Chorus:
I play the American Game
But I don't play the same
I got my hat tipped down
I got my peace sign out
And I'm not gonna change
So here I am
Generation X now I'm happy as hell
'Cause I'm rockin' in here
On American soil, mmmm put it back
Because of you my friends
I can live my life and I can be
Free to be me
It's such a feeling to
Not have to give a damn
'Cause I know who I am
And ya'll don't gotta understand
'Cause I don't change for no man
'Cause I chose, to go along that road less traveled
I chose to go along the road less traveled

That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It
Kindergarten
King of excuses
Sister Mary Mojo so hard to trick
What can I say
Dog ate my homework

Alibis, angles and tales from the tropics
Come to my mind so easy and quick
Spacemen from Mars stole all of my money
But I could play the game
They love me just the same
Chorus:
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my life and all that I've got
Call me a liar, call me a writer
Believe me or not
Believe me or not
Women always know before you tell them
The younger girls so easy to trick
What's that word? I think I'm eccentric
But I can play the game
They love me anyway
Revelations
Love when they happen
Wizards and lizards I choose and I pick
In a hundred years this all won't matter
How you play the game
They love you just the same
Chorus:
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my life and all that I've got

I will stay the same (I will stay the same)
I will play the game (I will play the game)

The little game you play
While I been sleepin all my life away
You been steppin so they say
Between midnight and day
So Im gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Chorus:
From now on, all night long
You wont have a chance
To treat your momma wrong
You been steppin so they say
Between midnight and day
So Im gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

Just about a mile or so
And I understand thats where you spend your time
Baby, I got news for you
Your little game is through
Yeah, from now on baby
You better tow the line
Repeat chorus
You thought you were bein smart
Breaking my little heart
And leavin me to spend my time alone
Well youll find out today

Youve started a little game that two can play
From now on, all night long
You wont have a chance
To treat your momma wrong
You been steppin so they say
Between midnight and day
But you better sleep with one eye open from now on
Yeah an Im gonna sleep with eye open from now on

Guess Im funny that way
Lately I just sit and stare
I talk to people who arent there
To get through one night a day.

One step away
From leavin you behind
I sit up with the radio
Sing along with the ones I know
To get through one night a day.

Wake em up, and make em mad
Let em know that Im okay.
I used to sit and talk to you
Theyre all just a substitute
To get through one night a day.

Just another way I know

Everybody Knows
I got your number right off the wall
Bristol 285 wont you give me a call
Well I was 15 thought I was hot
I didnt know if youd see me or not
And that night as we stepped out
We were hand in hand
But my friends all seemed to know you
I couldnt understand
That everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name
But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game
You seemed so shy so all alone-y
Without any hint of ever being phony
But then the little things that came to light
Like the strange hours you worked late at night
And as we laid in your bed that night
You made me feel like a king
Then as I looked into your eyes
I heard that telephone ring
And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
But nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game
Oh no, they dont want to know your game again

And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
Nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game
And everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name

Its Not That Serious
Music: rodney jerkins lyrics: cory rooney, jennifer lopez, rodney jerkins, lauren dawson
How could you tell me that you love me
When I know you were just trying to play me
But youre the fool
cause I know how to switch the game up on you
And in the end I know who will lose
I played this game before
And I cant play no more
What do you take me for
Its not what you thought
So dont play games with me
cause I play to teach
And if you want to cheat
It wont be on me
Chorus (2x) :
Its not that serious
I never put that much thought into us
It wasnt that I loved you
I was curious
Who did you think that you were involved with
Now baby you should know that it aint that serious
It should concern you that Im always one step ahead of you
So that should let you know that what you do
I have done before, its nothing new
So run those games on someone who cant be fooled
I can almost see lies coming through your teeth
In every word you speak you make it clear to me
That youre playing wrong and your game aint strong
Ive been in this too long, so just be moving on

Alone In Love
[Chorus:]
Swept me away
But now I'm lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now I'm left with a spark
Alone you got beyond the haze and
I'm lost inside the maze
I guess I'm all alone in love
I look into your eyes
You turn the other way
And now I realize
It's all a game you play
I hold you in the night
And wake to find you gone
You're running out of sight
It's so hard holding on
All alone in love
[Chorus]
You haunt me in my dreams
I'm calling out your name
I watch you fade away
Your love is not the same
I figured out your style
To quickly drift apart
You held me for a while
Planned it from the start
All alone in love
[Chorus]
Sitting in the dark without you
How am I supposed to make it through the night
Slowly fall apart without you
Cry away the hours 'till the morning light

'Till I met the B.H and bust down A capella to him

Crying Game
1st verse:
I think that I have played this game before
Its been a little while
So Im not that sure
Maybe they changed the box a bit
Put a few more pieces inside of it
The names have changed to ones
Im not familiar with
But I know its the same game
Although the faces change
It must be cause it plays the same
First up and down and then the bang
This is the one because I recognize the pain
Pre-chorus 1:
At the end
I dont win again
Chorus:
Crying game who wants to play
When all there are are losers
And if you choose it youll always lose it
The crying game who wants to play
The crying game
When all there are are losers
Glimpse of the sun , eternal rain
The crying game
All it brings is pain
2nd verse
Thought I would have learned my lesson then
Back when I was young and we were more like friends
Though my heart still felt the pain from then
Sure enough I let you back again
Will I allow myself to let this cycle end
And I have no one to blame
I guess cupid lost his aim
Must have hit me in my leg again
My knees got weak and I begin
To persuade myself to be the one to love again
Pre chorus 2:
I cant bare
That you wont care anymore
Bridge:
Free me from all my dark despair
Grant me three wishes so I can be anywhere but here
Storms of life evacuate my heart
Because the lessons you teach with the people I meet
Are tearing me apart

They got a hot spot brewing
Handcuffs and kisses
For the people who live there
Guitar player's playing
Cinderella saying
Hey boys get that spoon to my nose
And we'll run through the midnight air
CHORUS:
Night, night, whoa night dancin'
Hey just a little, little, little night dancin'
Night, night, whoa night dancin'
Hey just a little, little, little night dancin'

They run the roadhouse
They keep everything jumping
As the drummer keeps the beat
And it's really something when those kids start bitchin'
Yeah it starts me itching
As I jump to my feet

The harder the chase
The sweeter the catch
