Games by Juli Strawbridge Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stuck in slow motion dragging my feet through the water
Reaching out scared that you won't reach back to me
Sitting back hoping that you'd make the first offer
Hiding my cards while you make yours hard to read
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Terrified of a word that didn't match mine
Terrified you would leave before I left
Hide behind all the tricks you made but in time
I got tired of those excuses
[Chorus 1]
‘Cause baby I'm done with these games
If I wanna talk then I'll talk out loud
This old power play
If I wanna walk then I'll run this town
‘Cause it's been a while since I've been afraid to lose the upper hand
So I’ll say I'm done with these games
If I wanna go then you know I'll be there
This old power play
Baby I will fold so you know I play fair
I don't care if you don't care
But if I do
I’m not gonna play games with you
[Verse 2]
Taking my heart back, it's in my hands if you want it
Blind to your signs if you try your subtleties
If it's a hard task
Then you don't think that I'm worth it
Know it's not right if you leave tonight without me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
‘Cause I'm not terrified of a word that doesn’t match mine
Not terrified that you'll leave before I can
Won't hide behind all the tricks you make ‘cause it's time
That we leave all the excuses
[Chorus]
‘Cause baby I'm done with these games
If I wanna talk then I'll talk out loud
This old power play
If I wanna walk then I'll run this town
‘Cause it's been a while since I've been afraid to lose the upper hand
So I’ll say I'm done with these games
If I wanna go then you know I'll be there
This old power play
Baby I will fold so you know I play fair
I don't care if you don't care
But if I do
I’m not gonna play games with you
[Bridge]
I’m not scared to jump before you do
I’m not scared the way that I used to
I'll be there
‘Cause I play fair
If you play games with me baby you lose
(I won't hear you talk if you whisper
You won't find me walking on tiptoe
Turn in these cards
Take my real heart
The waters still great if you don't swim too)
I'll be there
‘Cause I play fair
If you play games with me baby you lose
[Chorus]
‘Cause baby I'm done with these games
If I wanna talk then I'll talk out loud
This old power play
If I wanna walk then I'll run this town
‘Cause it's been a while since I've been afraid to lose the upper hand
So I’ll say I'm done with these games
If I wanna go then you know I'll be there
This old power play
Baby I will fold so you know I play fair
I don't care if you don't care
But if I do
I’m not gonna play games with you
Stuck in slow motion dragging my feet through the water
Reaching out scared that you won't reach back to me
Sitting back hoping that you'd make the first offer
Hiding my cards while you make yours hard to read
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Terrified of a word that didn't match mine
Terrified you would leave before I left
Hide behind all the tricks you made but in time
I got tired of those excuses
[Chorus 1]
‘Cause baby I'm done with these games
If I wanna talk then I'll talk out loud
This old power play
If I wanna walk then I'll run this town
‘Cause it's been a while since I've been afraid to lose the upper hand
So I’ll say I'm done with these games
If I wanna go then you know I'll be there
This old power play
Baby I will fold so you know I play fair
I don't care if you don't care
But if I do
I’m not gonna play games with you
[Verse 2]
Taking my heart back, it's in my hands if you want it
Blind to your signs if you try your subtleties

‘Cause baby I'm done with these games

I don't care if you don't care
But if I do
I’m not gonna play games with you
[Bridge]
I’m not scared to jump before you do
I’m not scared the way that I used to
I'll be there
‘Cause I play fair
If you play games with me baby you lose
(I won't hear you talk if you whisper
You won't find me walking on tiptoe
Turn in these cards

‘Cause baby I'm done with these games

‘Cause it's been a while since I've been afraid to lose the upper hand
So I’ll say I'm done with these games
If I wanna go then you know I'll be there
This old power play
Baby I will fold so you know I play fair
I don't care if you don't care
But if I do
I’m not gonna play games with you
