[Verse 1]

I see you all the time, you're watching me

You're not the only one who notices me

Something about the way you flash your smile

That makes me feel like I should stay for a while

[Pre-Chorus]

Only secretly you talk to me (oh)

I can't understand why

You feel the need to hide

Deep down in your heart, you know how you feel (oh)

Boy, just keep it real with me

You can't be wastin' my time, no, no

[Chorus]

Boy, you play too many games

So baby, try if you may

I see straight through ya

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

I bow my head and I pray

We'll be together someday

I'm gonna love you

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

[Verse 2]

The sweetest things you do

Happen when no one's there

But when they come around

Baby, you seem so scared

You know that I'm digging you

And I know you feel it too

Don't let your boys control you

Man, they're makin' the rules

[Pre-Chorus]

Only secretly you talk to me (oh-oh, yeah)

I can't understand why

You feel the need to hide

Deep down in your heart, you know how you feel

Boy, just keep it real with me

You can't be wastin' my time, well, no

[Chorus]

Boy, you play too many games

Oh baby, try if you may

I see straight through ya

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

I bow my head and I pray

We'll be together someday

I'm gonna love you

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

Boy, you play too many games

So baby, try if you may

I see straight through ya

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

I bow my head and I pray

We'll be together someday

I'm gonna love you

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

[Bridge]

Just like the rising of the morning sun

Baby, you shine before my very eyes

Won't somebody tell me, tell me why?

You failed to realize what you feel inside, oh-woah

[Chorus]

Boy, you play too many games

So baby, try if you may

I see straight through ya

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

I bow my head and I pray

We'll be together someday

I'm gonna love you

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

Boy, you play too many games

Oh, so baby, try if you may

I see straight through ya

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

I bow my head and I pray

(Oh, only secretly you talk to me)

(When I say, "what's going on?" you never speak)

I'm gonna love you

(You act like you don't know me, baby)

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

Boy, you play too many games

So baby, try if you may

I see straight through ya

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine

I bow my head and I pray

We'll be together someday

I'm gonna love you

'Cause deep down you wanna be mine
