I 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 every city
Tried to work out where I am
I close my mind for the day
I know the way

I 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 myself

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 played the game, still it's not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes for the day
And all the way

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
