The Name of the Game lyrics

I’ve seen you twice in a short time,

only a week since we started.

It seems to me, for every time,

I’m getting more open-hearted.

I was an impossible case –

no-one ever could reach me.

But I think I can see in your face

there’s a lot you can teach me.

So I wanna know…

What’s the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

What’s the name of the game?

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, ’cause I have to know.

I’m a bashful child, beginning to grow.

And you make me talk.

And you make me feel.

And you make me show

what I’m trying to conceal.

If I trust in you, would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know…

the name of the game.

I have no friends, no-one to see.

and I am never invited.

Now I am here, talking to you –

no wonder I get excited.

Your smile, and the sound of your voice,

and the way you see through me.

Got a feeling, you give me no choice,

but it means a lot to me.

So I wanna know…

What’s the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Does it mean anything to you?

(Got a feeling you give me no choice, but it means a lot)

What’s the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please, ’cause I have to know.

I’m a bashful child, beginning to grow.

And you make me talk.

And you make me feel.

And you make me show

what I’m trying to conceal.

If I trust in you, would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know…

Oh yes I wanna know…

The name of the game.

(I was an impossible case)

Does it mean anything to you?

(But I think I can see in your face that it means a lot)

What’s the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Can you feel it the way I do?

(Got a feeling you give me no choice, but it means a lot)

What’s the name of the game?

(I was an impossible case)

Does it mean anything to you?

(But I think I can see in your face that it means a lot)

What’s the name of the game?

(Your smile and the sound of your voice)

Does it mean anything…
