Lyrics
[powerful blues intro]
(Verse 1)
I saw you walkin' out the door, suitcase in your hand,
Told me you were leavin', to find a better man.
Oh, I gave you all my heart, but you threw it away,
Should’ve known from the start, love was just a play. (oh)
(Chorus)
Just a game(just a game), baby, just a game(just a game),
I was the pawn in your lovin' charade.
Oh, Just a game(just a game), baby, just a game(just a game),
Now I see the truth, I’ve been betrayed.
[Instrumental Interlude]
(Verse 2)
Every smile you gave, was a lie you sold,
All those nights we shared, now they feel so cold.(Oh)
You played your cards right, had me fooled so well,
Should’ve known all along, you were raisin' hell.
(Chorus)
Just a game(just a game), baby, just a game(just a game),
I was the pawn in your lovin' charade.
Just a game(just a game), baby, just a game(just a game),
Now I see the truth, I’ve been betrayed.
[Instrumental Interlude]
(Bridge)
I was blinded by your sweet, sweet lies,
Couldn't see the deceit in your pretty eyes.
Now I’m picking up the pieces, of a shattered heart,
Realizing, baby, you were playin' me from the start.
(Chorus)
Just a game(just a game), baby, just a game(just a game),
I was the pawn in your lovin' charade.
Oh, Just a game(just a game), baby, just a game(just a game),
Now I see the truth, I’ve been betrayed.
(Outro)
I’ll be movin' on, won’t play no more,
Find a love that’s real, not a heart that’s sore.
Just a game(just a game), baby, just a game(just a game),
You played me for a fool, but now I’ve learned your name.
