I`ve played the game , still it`s not worth it 
Like a woman in the rain 
I close my eyes 
I`m on the shelf 
I know myself 

I`ve seen the lights of ev`ry city 
Tried to work out where I am 
I close my mind for the day 
I know the way 

I`ve played the game , still it`s not worth it 
Like a woman in the rain 
So I close my eyes 
I`m on the shelf 
I know my self 

There`s never ever anybody to rely on 
There isn`t time to count the shoulders I have cried on 
That`s just circumstances , I must take my chances 
But, baby you don`t know what I`m saying 
But I guess that`s not true 
And you know that`s true 
But there`s a method to my madness 

I`ve played the game , still it`s not worth it 
Like a woman in the rain 
So I close my eyes for the day 
I know the way
