Don't Play That Game With Me
Smokie · Hitmix [2002]
so beautiful and true
each piece of love was wild and full of fire
and the stars will need you
How could I know you found another guy
the way you acted out your part
and then you stayed away so many nights
you knew then it would tier my heart apart
Don't play that game with me
not that game with me
you're love never never never will I share
Don't play that game with me
not that game with me
with that other other guy it's not fair
solo
You tried to tell me it was just a plan
a little stop along the way
but I can tell something more of that
in spite of all it's the thibngs you say
You gotta choose between the two of us
you gotta choose that guy or me
I can't go on not knowing where I stand
if you want him then set me free
Don't play that game with me...
I'm tired of all your lies you're playing with me
so stop your fooling round I beg you please
Don't play...
