Here we go again, it's the game we love

Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs

You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs

Hit you with the Ace of Spade, in your face, and shrugged

Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs

We was just planning a wedding, Caucasian doves

You was just tellin' your mans that you hate the clubs

Now we in the cryin' game, heart laced with slugs

Are you alone? Do you need someone?

Is it too late to talk? Did I wait too long?

Thousand words don't change a thing

Is it only three, three words that you're missing?

Where did you go? Couldn't see

I was too busy

Could've just said "No"

Where did you go? I think that I know

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

We're back to playing

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

We're back to playing

The cryin' game

I could've given everything

Don't wanna let the tears begin

We're back to playing, the crying game

I could've given everything

Don't wanna let the tears begin

We're back to playing, the crying game

Welcome to the cryin' game, where you lose your soul

Where it ain't no E-Z Pass, you gotta use the toll

Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control

Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes

Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious

Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what?

Another slap to the face, another uppercut

I'm just abusive by nature, not 'cause I hate ya

Not 'cause I wanna get someone to imitate ya

I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya

But is you stayin' or goin'?

I couldn't breathe, and you ain't even know it

How come you never show it?

All this love you speak of

All I want is to love and be loved

(To love and be loved)

I'm losing a thing

I thought I'd win

And I'm coming undone

'Cause the tears don't end

Where did you go? Couldn't see

I was too busy

Could've just said "No"

Where did you go? I think that I know

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

We're back to playing

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

We're back to playing

The crying game

I could've given everything (everything)

Don't wanna let the tears begin (everything)

We're back to playing, the crying game

I could've given everything

Don't wanna let the tears begin

We're back to playing, the crying game

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
