KEEP VISIBLE




I've seen you twice, in a short time

Only a week since we started

It seems to me, for every time

I'm getting more open-hearted



I was an impossible case

No-one ever could reach me

But I think I can see in your face

There's a lot you can teach me

So I wanna know..



What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game?

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, 'cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow



And you make me talk

And you make me feel

And you make me show

What I'm trying to conceal

If I trust in you, would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know..



The name of the game



I have no friends, no-one to see

And I am never invited

Now I am here, talking to you

No wonder I get excited



Your smile, and the sound of your voice

And the way you see through me

Got a feeling, you give me no choice

But it means a lot to me

So I wanna know..



What's the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Does it mean anything to you?

(Got a feeling you give me no choice)

But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, 'cause I have to know

I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow



And you make me talk

And you make me feel

And you make me show

What I'm trying to conceal

If I trust in you, would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know..

Oh yes I wanna know..



The name of the game

(I was an impossible case)

Does it mean anything to you?

(But I think I can see in your face)

That it means a lot

What's the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do?

(Got a feeling you give me no choice)

But it means a lot, what's the name of the game?

(I was an impossible case)

Does it mean anything to you?

(But I think I can see in your face)

That it means a lot
