No Games

I've never answered 'No' to that famous question
When someone turns and says "Do I look alright?"
I've never shot a glance at a dumb suggestion
Maybe fearing that I might not appear polite

Where have I been, under some strange spell
Not quite myself, hiding in my shell
Maybe it's time, time to say "enough"
For you, no games - just love
No games, just love

A game of hide-and-seek doesn't seem suspicious
A friendly bit of chess, what could be so wrong?
Just smile and tell my Ma that her food's delicious
When seconds come around, would you be so strong?

Just one white lie is where it all begins
But go too far and you can never win
I think it's time, time to say "enough"
For you, no games - just love
No games, just love

Who should care, should I win or lose?
I'll come out on top, just as long as I still have you
So I'm resigned to rewrite the rules
The only game I'm in
Is one where we both win

I may get one more kiss if I seem real clever
Or turn somebody's head driving way too fast
But I just can't keep appearances up forever
And I'm hoping I can make this moment last

I'll hide no fools from my family tree
No matter what that might do for me
I guarantee that I won't let on
That I could read your mind all along
You're still so much of a mystery
So here's to you knowing all of me
I think you know that I'm not so tough
For you, no games - just love
No games, just love

I'll tell you right now what I'm thinking of
No more games for you, just love
Nobody knows but Heaven above
If I play no games, just love
