I Never Played the Game

They say the game is to be played That that's the way it goes But soon the challenge is over And you long (for another lover) for another lover I wear my heart on my sleeveless skin I'm honest and I'm brave But being true, it don't seem to lead To a woman sweetly laid Shall I finger my hair and make it dance 'Til your head spins lucidly Are you interested in more than facades? Or do you dine with sovereignty? They say they're sick of rolling dice And playing their cards right But where are all the suitors Who profess this in the night? I opted out, I showed my hands Thinking that I'd find a love A love who knew better Than to swaddle in the dust Well, it turns out I'm a wayfaring on Alone and more confused Must you enter the playing field For a love to be revealed? Oh, I never played the game But then again I never had much luck in love Oh, I never played the game But then again I never had much luck in love Oh, I never played the game But then again I never had much luck in love Oh, I never played the game But then again I never had much luck in love Oh, I never played the game But then again I never had much luck in love Oh, I never played the game
