When it started out so easily
She was lonely I was free
I couldn't pass another lonely night on my own
She just poured her life into a drink
Looked at me said what do you think
I said you need a little loving baby
So I picked her up
She gave me all the loving that I would ever need
Oh she picked me up
I didn't know her name

I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart

Oh, this game of love is burning me
No way out that I can see
It's like a fire I can't control, I can't control
Oh, they pick me up
Give me all the loving
That I'll ever need
Yeah, I love and run
I never know their names
Just playing love games
I keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart

Now my love is like a fire
Burning me up
And the flames
Are getting higher
Up to my heart

I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart

I keep on playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Whether I win
Or whether I lose
I end up with a broken heart
Keep playin' love games
Ain't no doubt about it
Oh these love games
Are tearing me apart
