歌词
[slow build]
[instrumental intro]
[Verse 1 - male]
He walked right up with a smile on his face,
Said, "Hey there, darlin', what's your name?"
She looked him over, head to toe,
But kept her cool, didn't let it show.
He said, "I'm just a simple man,
Looking for love, if you understand."
[short instrumental transition]
[Verse 2 - female]
She flipped her hair, gave a little grin,
Said, "I ain't fallin' for that again."
Played it coy, played it tough,
Made him work, like it wasn't enough.
He tried his best to break through the ice,
But she kept him guessing, rolling the dice.
[short instrumental transition]
[Chorus - male]
But playing games with a man’s heart,
Ain't as easy as it seems from the start.
You might win a round or two,
But in the end, it’s gonna cost you.
When you play with fire, you'll get burned,
And the love you wanted, you won't have earned.
[instrumental interlude]
[Verse 3 - male]
He tipped his hat, said, "Well, alright,
Guess I’ll be movin’ on tonight."
Turned around, and walked away,
Left her standing in the light of day.
She watched him go, didn't make a sound,
But her heart sank as he left town.
[Bridge - female]
[reduced tempo]
She thought she had it all figured out,
But now she’s left with nothing but doubt.
Lonely nights and endless dreams,
Of what could have been, or so it seems.
[Verse 4 - female]
Now she’s sittin' alone with a glass of wine,
Thinking 'bout how she lost her shine.
Says to herself, "There’s no good men left,"
But deep down, she knows it's just regret.
She played the game, but the cost was steep,
Now she’s got a heart she can’t keep.
[slow build]
[Chorus - male]
But playing games with a man’s heart,
Ain't as easy as it seems from the start.
You might win a round or two,
But in the end, it’s gonna cost you.
When you play with fire, you'll get burned,
And the love you wanted, you won't have earned.
[Outro - female]
So if you find love, don’t let it slip,
Hold on tight, don’t let it dip.
'Cause once it's gone, it’s hard to find,
True love’s a game, but it’s not kind.
[fade out]
