Silly Game

Prince · Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic [1999]

I never thought U would be the 1

That I'd wanna run 2

I never thought U would be the 1

That would make me care

And even though you've done me wrong

For some strange reason I can't explain

I get happy knowing U phoned

Cuz u're voice could kill my every pain

Why do we play this silly game?



I never thought U would be the 1

That I'd wanna give 2

A diamond ring, anything, that U ask me 2

But there U are bragging 2 u're friend

Making up a story that's so lame

That I was down 2 be u're sugardaddy

A one way ticket 2 ghetto fame

Why do we play this silly game?



Every other night U weren't at home

Out in the streets just actin' grown

Never with a bodyguard or chaperone

Then I hear a rumor that breaks my heart

Instead of takin' care of yourself u're tearin' yourself apart

Now why U wanna (why u wanna), why U wanna

Now why U wanna go and do that love?

Why do we play this silly game?



I never thought U would be the 1

That I'd wanna run 2

I never thought u'd be the 1

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 to blame



Why do we play this...

Why do we play this silly...

Why do we play this silly game?



Oh. Oh, oh, oh, ah

Tell me... why (oh why)

Oh why, Oh why, why, why, why

Why do we play this silly game?
