You see me as the girl next door
Like you, know so many many more
Just a fish that swims in your direction
and could bring love and affection

But I can't play the game of love with you
I know it will only hurt me
I feel the tears in my eyes
Cause we have to say goodbye
I am looking in the face of love
I'll never touch it, it would be self deceit
To think that you would stay with me

You think you mean the same to me
But I'm afraid and too shy to let you see
To me you're really someone special
I found the needle in the hay stack
I feel love's back

But I can't play the game of love with you
I know it will only hurt me
I feel tears in my eyes
Cause we have to say goodbye
I am looking in the face of love
I'll never touch it, it would be self deceit
To think that you would never leave

Blisters on my soul
Are they my path or are they my goal
Cause everytime I feel love
Fate rudely breaks it up
Will it ever stop

But I can't play the game of love with you
I know it will only hurt me
I feel tears in my eyes
Cause we have to say goodbye
I am looking in the face of love
I'll never touch it, it would be self deceit
To think that you would never leave
