You swore you'd never again, let yourself be tempted,

Too many times in the past when you've opened up your heart --

You've had it broken in pieces, by too many lies,

Still it's hard to acknowledge the past --

When she flashes those eyes,

Over and over the song skips,

Just as the final refrain fades away --

Like fools we are caught in the game



*caught in the game,

Caught in the game again --

Caught in the game,

Caught in the game*



I swore I'd never again catch myself believin'

Too many times I've been hurt -- and it makes you hard inside

But when I saw you in the city tonight --

Was it just imagination --

Or did your eyes burn a little too bright,

For purely conversation --

Over and over the lights flash down at the corner arcade

Swept away --

Like fools we are caught in the game



( * repeat)



Over and over the song skips

Just as the final refrain fades away.

Like fools we are caught in the game



( * repeat)
