When it started out so easily
She was lonely I was free
I couldn't pass another lonely night on my own

She just poured her life into a drink
Looked at me said what do you think
I said you need a little loving baby

So I picked her up
She gave me all the loving that I would ever need
Oh she picked me up

I didn't know her name
I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games

Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games

Ain't no doubt in my mind
These love games
Are tearing me apart

Oh, this game of love is burning me
No way out that I can see
It's like a fire I can't control, I can't control

Oh, they pick me up
Give me all the loving
I've ever need

Yeah, I love and run
I never know their names


Just playing love games
I keep on playing love games
Win or lose

I get a broken heart
Playing love games
Ain't no doubt in my mind

That these love games
Are tearing me apart
Now my love is like a fire

Burning me up
And the flames
Are getting higher

Up to my heart
I'm playing love games
Keep on playing love games

Win or lose
I get a broken heart
Just playing love games

Ain't no doubt in my mind
That these love games
Are tearing me apart

I keep on playing love games
Keep on playing love games
Whether I win

Or whether I lose
I end up with a broken heart
Keep playin' love games

Ain't no doubt about it
Oh these love games
Are tearing me apart
