It's like a playground
We're a couple of kids
Exchanging grins
Your attention seems to be on me
Or at least that's what I'm imagining

You got me chasing a tail
Got me singing your tune
And I'm over the moon
I'm smiling on the inside
Acting like a fool

I'm starting to wise up
I can't pretend that what you're giving me
Giving me is enough

I have been waiting, been waiting
'Cause you know how I feel about you
This is a game that you're playing
And I'm not going to lose
I have been trying, been trying
For more than a one way thing
But after all this time you're still not mine
And it's finally sinking in, sinking in

I gave it my best shot
For the right man
I got the wrong idea
'Cause I'm not really part of your plan
So what am I still doing here?

It's not like a playground
We're not a couple of kids
All of this is supposed to
Bring me happiness
Well that's not what this is

I'm starting to wake up
I can't pretend that what you're giving me
Giving me is enough

I have been waiting, been waiting
'Cause you know how I feel about you
This is a game that you're playing
And I'm not going to lose
I have been trying, been trying
For more than a one way thing
But after all this time you're still not mine
And it's finally sinking in, sinking in

The only way to win, is not to play
So, I'll just slip away
I bet you don't even notice anyway

I have been waiting, been waiting
'Cause you know how I feel about you
This is a game that you're playing
And I'm not going to lose
I have been trying, been trying
For more than a one way thing
But after all this time you're still not mine
And it's finally sinking in, sinking in
