Lyrics:

You played a shady game
You dried up all I had
Then you did it again
Oh how could you do that?
Just lies and token promises
You hit me where I stand
I guess I must deserve this
We all get dealt our hand

Keep yourself together
Keep it straight
Keep cool - keep cool
You wanna play in the game
Then you'd better mind the rules
There’s nothing to be gained
By screwing me now
It won't do- it won't do
It’s all gonna be coming back around to you

It’s just those games we play
Day and night
You chose this way
Be satisfied
It’s just those games we play
For wrong or right
Win or lose
Can’t give up the fight

The talk will keep you down
You won't know where you stand
Their praise will fade away
Can’t take dignity back
When friends become your enemies
You’ve cheated all you can
Guess that's the price you pay
We all get dealt our hand

Keep yourself together
Keep it straight
Keep cool - keep cool
You wanna play in the game
Then you'd better mind the rules
There’s nothing to be gained
By screwing me now
It won't do- it won't do
It’s all gonna be coming back around to you

It’s just those games we play
Day and night
You chose this way
Be satisfied
It’s just those games we play
For wrong or right
Win or lose
Can’t give up the fight

I cut you off my list
Only cause you insist that you are not my friend
And you are not the first to go
But the smaller it grows the bigger I count my win
Cause I have wasted too much time on reason and rhyme
Trying to justify your head
Now I don't mind how many times you trying take me on
Or if we never play again

It’s just those games we play
Day and night
You chose this way
Be satisfied
It’s just those games we play
For wrong or right
Win or lose
Can’t give up the fight
