Silly Game - Prince

I never thought u would be the one

That i’d wanna run 2

I never thought u would be the one

That would make me care

And even tho u done me wrong

4 some strange reason i can’t xplain

I get happy knowing u phoned

Cuz your voice could kill my every pain

Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought u would be the one

That i’d wanna give 2

A diamond ring, anything that u ask me 2

But there u were, bragging 2 your friends

Making up a story that’s so lame

That i was down 2 be your sugardaddy

One way ticket to ghetto fame

Why do we play this silly game?

Every other night u weren’t at home

Out in the streets, just acting grown

Never with a bodyguard or chaperone

Then i hear a rumour that breaks my heart

Instead of taking care of yourself

U’re tearing yourself apart

Now why u wanna

(why u wanna, why u wanna …)

Now why u wanna go and do that, love?

Why do we play this silly game?

I never thought u would be the one

(that i’d wanna run 2) that i’d wanna run 2

I never thought u’d be the one

That would make me care

No matter how far i run

I’ll never be the same (i'll never be the same)

In the end, in the end, there’s only us 2 blame

Why do we play this …

Why do we play this silly …

Why do we play this silly game?

Yeah

Ooh-ooh

Tell me why?

(tell me why?)

Oh why?

(oh why?)

Oh why — why?

Why do we play this silly game?
