Prince – Silly Game lyrics

I never thought you would be the one
That I'd wanna run 2
I never thought you would be the one
That would make me care
And even tho you done me wrong
4 some strange reason I can't xplain
I get happy knowing you phoned
Cuz your voice could kill my every pain
Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought you would be the one
That I'd wanna give 2
A diamond ring, anything that you ask me 2
But there you were, bragging 2 your friends
Making up a story that's so lame
That I was down 2 be your sugardaddy
One way ticket to ghetto fame
Why do we play this silly game?

Every other night you weren't at home
Out in the streets, just acting grown
Never with a bodyguard or chaperone
Then I hear a rumour that breaks my heart
Instead of taking care of yourself
U're tearing yourself apart
Now why you wanna
(Why you wanna, why you wanna...)
Now why you wanna go and do that, love?

Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought you would be the one
(That I'd wanna run 2) that I'd wanna run 2
I never thought U'd be the one
That would make me care
No matter how far I run
I'll never be the same (I'll never be the same)
In the end, in the end, there's only us 2 blame
Why do we play this...
Why do we play this silly...
Why do we play this silly game?

Yeah
Ooh-ooh
Tell me why? (Tell me why?)
Oh why? (Oh why?)
Oh why - why?

Why do we play this silly game?
Game
