Player Not The Game - Lil' Mo/Carl Thomas.mp3

[00:00.014]Start playin'
[00:02.825]We talk about these players
[00:07.124]We also talk about this game
[00:10.180]Heh, this game
[00:16.123]Is something everybody wants to know about
[00:20.517]But who's the victim?
[00:23.512]Is it the player?
[00:26.283]The one bein' played?
[00:29.225]Or simply this game?
[00:33.995]Early in the morning, he waits by her door
[00:37.782]But she's not there, 'cause she don't care someone else she adores
[00:40.812]And it's a quarter after midnight
[00:42.859]The girl's by her phone
[00:45.201]But he won't call, and the tears fall
[00:46.958]So she sleeps all alone
[00:48.465](We're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)
[00:52.484]The feeling is gone, still we keep holding on
[00:55.753](To a love, that is just an illusion)
[00:59.775]Get to the back of the line
[01:01.297]Love will call you in time
[01:03.335]On the kaleidoscope of love
[01:06.446]People go 'round and 'round in circles
[01:10.018]Falling in love and feeling pain
[01:13.815]But it's the playa, not the game
[01:17.333]See the parade of smiling faces
[01:20.881]No masquerade can fade the shame
[01:24.726]Too many tracks to hide the traces
[01:28.616]But it's the player, not the game
[01:32.138]It's not the game
[01:33.268]I keep all my feelings in a dark and deep place
[01:37.046]Never go there, 'cause it's so rare true love shows it's face
[01:40.560]I stare out my window, when I can't sleep at night
[01:44.075]Many voices, many choices, but I know when it's right
[01:47.852](We're in a world, that's a ball of confusion)
[01:51.390]The feeling is wrong, still we keep holding on
[01:54.655](To a love, that is just an illusion)
[01:58.947]Fall to the back of the line
[02:00.703]Love will call you in time
[02:01.904]On the kaleidoscope of love
[02:05.450]People go 'round and 'round in circles
[02:08.990]Falling in love and feeling pain
[02:13.207]But it's the playa, not the game
[02:16.438]See the parade of smiling faces
[02:19.969]No masquerade can fade the shame
[02:23.765]Too many tracks to hide the traces
[02:27.414]But it's the player, not the game
[02:31.207]Blame it on the player (don't fall too fast)
[02:36.827]Not the game
[02:38.604]Blame it on the player (don't fall too fast)
[02:43.701]Not the game
[02:46.032]Blame it on the player (don't fall too fast)
[02:50.832]Not the game
[02:53.593]Blame it on the player (I know it's hard, don't fall apart)
[02:58.872]Not the game
[03:02.659]Oh, oh, oh
[03:04.662]On the kaleidoscope of love
[03:08.185]People go 'round and 'round in circles
[03:11.747]Falling in love and feeling pain
[03:15.844]But it's the playa, not the game
[03:19.363]See the parade of smiling faces
[03:22.877]No masquerade can fade the shame
[03:26.648]Too many tracks to hide the traces
[03:30.676]But it's the player, not the game
[03:33.951]On the kaleidoscope of love
[03:37.485]Oh (People go round and around)
[03:41.032]People go round and around, yeah
[03:42.735]Listen to, feelin' pain, yeah, yeah, yeah
[03:45.818]But it's the player not the game
[03:48.670]Oh, whoa (Yeah, yeah)
[03:52.487]Don't you know that we go round?
[03:54.963]We go round
[03:57.897]Every day, all day, seven days
[04:00.626]But it's the player not the game
[04:02.396]Yeah
[04:03.408]Sometimes in love
[04:04.496]On a kaleidoscope of love
[04:07.532]People go round and round in circles
[04:10.564]You go around and around and around and around again
[04:11.033]Falling in love and feeling pain
[04:14.799]But it's the player not the game
[04:18.428]See the parade of smiling faces
