[Intro]
|
Start playin'
|
We gon' talk about these playas
|
We gon' also talk about this game
|
Heh, this game
|
Is somethin' everybody wants to know about
|
But who's the victim?
|
Is it the playa?
|
The one bein' played?
|
Or simply this game?
|
|
Early in the morning, he waits by her door
|
But she's not there, cuz she don't care
|
Someone else she adores
|
And it's a quarter after midnight
|
The girl's by her phone
|
But he won't call, and the tears fall
|
So she sleeps all alone
|
|
(We're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)
|
The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on
|
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
|
Get to the back of the line
|
Love will call you in time
|
|
1 - On the kaleidascope of love
|
People go 'round and 'round in circles
|
Falling in love and feeling pain
|
But it's the playa, not the game
|
|
See the parade of smiling faces
|
No masquerade can fade the shame
|
Too many tracks to hide the traces
|
But it's the playa, not the game
|
|
It's not the game
|
|
I keep all my feelings in a dark and deep place
|
Never go there, cuz it's so rare true love shows it's face
|
I stare out my window, when I can't sleep at night
|
Many voices, many choices, but I know when it's right
|
|
(We're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)
|
The feeling is wrong, still we keep holding on
|
(To a love, that is just an illusion)
|
Fall to the back of the line
|
Love will call you in time
|
|
Repeat 1
|
|
Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
|
Not the game
|
Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
|
Not the game
|
Blame it on the playa (don't fall too fast)
|
Not the game
|
Blame it on the playa (I know it's hard, don't fall apart)
|
Not the game
|
|
Oh, oh, oh
|
|
Repeat 1 w/ ad-libs to fade
|
