The Name of the Game Lyrics

I've seen you twice
In a short time
Only a day since we started
It seems to me
For every time
I'm getting more openhearted

Your smile and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling you give me no choice
And it means a lot to me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me, please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a curious child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me?
If I said I care for you
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
The name of the game

I have no friends
No one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here
Talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling you give me no choice
That it means a lot to me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice, but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me, please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a curious child
Beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me?
If I said I care for you
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
Oh, yes, I wanna know

The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face, and it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice, but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face, and it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
