The Name Of The Game
Aqua · Other Songs - Aqua
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
[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..

Following their massive international breakthrough with "Barbie Girl," this recording showcased a more mature and rhythmic approach, blending upbeat electronic production with catchy vocal melodies that defined the early 90s dance sound. The song served as a bridge in their discography, leading into their later, more complex work on the album *Aquarium*.
