I've played the game, still it's not worth it

Like a woman in the rain

I close my eyes

I'm on the shelf

I know myself

I've seen the lights of ev'ry city

Tried to work out where I am

I close my mind for the day

I know the way

I've played the game, still it's not worth it

Like a woman in the rain

So I close my eyes

I'm on the shelf

I know my self

There's never ever anybody to rely on

There isn't time to count the shoulders I have cried on

That's just circumstances, I must take my chances

But, baby you don't know what I'm saying

But I guess that's not true

And you know that's true

But there's a method to my madness

I've played the game, still it's not worth it

Like a woman in the rain

So I close my eyes for the day

I know the way
