I've played the game,
Still it's not worth it,
Like a woman in the rain,
I close my eyes,
I'm on the shelf,
I know myself.
I've seen the lights of every city.
Tried to work out where I am.
I close my mind for the day
I know the way.
I've played the game,
Still it's not worth it,
Like a woman in the rain,
So I close my eyes,
I'm on the shelf,
I know myself.
There's never ever anybody to rely on.
There isn't time to count the shoulders I have cried on.
That's just circumstances,
I must take my chances.
But, baby, you don't know what I'm saying.
But I guess that's not true
And you know that's true,
But there's a method to my madness.
I've played the game,
Still it's not worth it,
Like a woman in the rain,
So I close my eyes for the day,
I know the way.
