Lyrics
I've seen you twice,

In a short time...

Only a week since we started.

It seems to me,

For every time...

I'm getting more brokenhearted.

---

I was an impossible case,

No-one ever could reach me.

But I think I can see in your face,

There's a lot you can teach me...

So I wanna know,

---

Chorus:

What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game?

Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me please,

'Cause I have to know.

I'm a bashful child,

Beginning to grow.

---

And you make me talk (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And you make me feel (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And you make me show (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

What I'm trying to conceal!

If I trust in you,

Would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me,

If I said I cared for you? (aah-aah)

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know...

The name of the game.

---

I have no friends,

No-one to see...

And I am never invited.

Now I am here,

Talking to you...

No wonder I get excited!

---

Your smile and the sound of your voice,

And the way you see through me.

Got a feeling, you give me no choice,

But it means a lot to me...

---

Chorus

---

And you make me talk (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And you make me feel (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

And you make me show (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

What I'm trying to conceal!

If I trust in you,

Would you let me down?

Would you laugh at me,

If I said I cared for you? (aah-aah)

Could you feel the same way too?

I wanna know...

Oh yes, I wanna know...

---

The name of the game,

Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game?
