My friend's wife, she plays the game
Plays it with me all the time
Makes me feel pretty good, I guess
Hey that's a pretty dress
But you shouldn't have
No, you shouldn't have, let me know
No you shouldn't have
Really shouldn't have, let it show
Play with me, don't play with me, don't play
Play with me, don't play with me, don't play
Don't you wanna play the game?
If I were a renegade
And you were the county line
Will I have to cross it now
I got yours and you got mine
But you shouldn't have
No, you shouldn't have, let it go
Play with me, don't play with me, don't play
Play with me, don't play with me, don't play
Don't you wanna play the game?
Jealousy is just a game
It ties you up and wraps around your brain
Makes you feel like you might hurt yourself
Makes you feel insane
Play with me, don't play with me, don't play
Play with me, don't play with me, don't play
Don't you wanna play the game?
