Time to pay the rent baby gotta try and work harder
Really goin' nowhere fast you're not goin' much farther

Gotta take a break baby try and make my load lighter

I'm missin' somethin' that I need never been much of a fighter

Well maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby you know they were mine to make
I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game but I ain't gonna play it this time

You watch me like a hawk baby I know somethin's gotta give

Listen to the way you talk baby this ain't no way to live

Everything I don't have well it all belongs to you

I'm doing the best that I can baby what you want me to do

Well maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby you know they were mine to make
I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game but I ain't gonna play it this time

The old ways are dead and gone
And the door is open wide

Anything can happen now You can see me
Standin' on a thin line

Well maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby you know they were mine to make
I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game

I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game but I ain't gonna play it this time

I ain't gonna play it this time
