[Verse 1]
You came around my way
About the same time everyday
Lookin fly no doubt
All the chicks be checkin you out
It's something about the way
About the way you spit your game
Had me hooked on you

[Pre-Chorus]
Til your crew came through
They told some things about you
That put me on to you
And what your tryna do
I'm no fool so

[Chorus]
When you play the game
You play, I play
Until the game is played on you
Can't take losing

[Verse 2]
I saw you yesterday
Didn't even notice me
Matter in fact you even waved
But it was way too dark to see
I didn't wanna deal with you
So I found somebody new
I didn't have to say his name
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He drives a CLK
The one who told on you
The one who played on you
The one that I'm into
So who's playing who

[Chorus]
When you play the game
You play, I play
Until the game is played on you
Can't take losing

[Bridge]
Should've known how to love
Should've known not to play
Should've known I'm not the one
Should've known, should've known
How can I be the one for you
You better be the one for me
We could've had a family

[Chorus]
When you play the game
You play, I play
Until the game is played on you
Can't take losing
