[Intro: Brian]
Baby, oh-oh

[Verse 1: Brian]
Even in my heart, I see
You're not being true to me
Deep within my soul, I feel
Nothing's like it used to be

[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby

[Chorus: Brian & All]
Quit playing games with my heart
Quit playing games with my heart (my heart)
Before you tear us apart (my heart)
Quit playing games with my heart
I should've known from the start
You know you've got to stop (from my heart)
You're tearing us apart (my heart)
Quit playing games with my heart

[Verse 2: Brian]
I live my life the way
To keep you coming back to me
Everything I do is for you
So what is it that you can't see
