You see me as the girl next-door
Like you know so many, many more
Just a fish that swims in your direction
And could bring you love and affection

But I can’t play the game of love with you
I know that it will only hurt me
I feel the tears in my eyes
Because we have to say goodbye
Looking in the face of love
I’ll never touch it
It will be self-deceit
To think you would stay with me

You think you mean the same to me
But I'm afraid and too shy to let you see
To me you’re really someone special
I found a needle in a haystack
I feel love is bad

But I can’t play the game of love with you
I know that it will only hurt me
I feel tears in my eyes
Because we have to say goodbye
Looking in the face of love
I’ll never touch it
It will be self-deceit
To think you would never leave

Blisters on my soul
Are they my paths, or are they my goal
Cause everytime I feel love
Faith, rude-be breaks it up
Will it ever stop

But I can’t play the game of love with you
I know that it will only hurt me
I feel tears in my eyes
Because we have to say goodbye
Looking in the face of love
I’ll never touch it
It will be self-deceit
To think you would never leave
