[Verse 1]
Ah, listen to me, baby
[Verse 2]
Musical chairs, you see, my dear, ain't ever been my thing
Shuffleboard to me, you see, it just ain't the same
Well, tic-tac-toe has got to go, it truly has become a bore
Checkers games I've lost my last, and I don't wanna lose no more
[Verse 3]
Now, you can keep on playing hide and seek
And things like blind man's bluff
But tricks are made for kids, baby
But the name of the game is love, oh
[Verse 4]
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
[Verse 5]
Now I believe in lovin' hard don't care about games or money
I believe in being love rich so I've never been love poor, honey
Playing the field behind my back, and to my face saying that you're true
That's the game of foolish kids, baby, not for me and you
[Verse 6]
So, don't keep your feelings hid if you want me, tell me so
Can't you see tricks are made for kids and these kids have got to go, oh
[Verse 7]
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
[Verse 8]
Oh, oh yeah
Na-na-na, yeah, ooh, ooh
[Verse 9]
So, come on, honey, come kiss me and dream
I'm not make believe (I'm the real thing)
I've got all the riches baby, and I'm here to please
[Verse 10]
So, stop your fooling around, push has come to shove
Throwing out the games of yesterday, now the name of the game is love
[Verse 11]
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
[Verse 12]
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games or take this heart in full?
