I've played the game , still it's not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
I close my eyes
I'm on the shelf
I know myself

I've seen the lights of ev'ry city
Tried to work out where I am
I close my mind for the day
I know the way

I've played the game , still it's not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes
I'm on the shelf
I know my self

There's never ever anybody to rely on
There isn't time to count the shoulders I have cried on
That's just circumstances , I must take my chances
But, baby you don't know what I'm saying
But I guess that's not true
And you know that's true
But there's a method to my madness

I've played the game , still it's not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes for the day
