[Verse 1]
Daylight, alright
I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Been a long night and something ain't right
You won't show, you won't show how you feel
No time ever seems right
To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game before it's too late

[Chorus]
Head games, it's you and me baby
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, I don't want to play the
Head games

[Verse 2]
I daydream for hours it seems
I keep thinking of you, yeah, thinking of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?
Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm saying, still we keep on playing

[Chorus]
Head games, that's all I get from you
Head games, 'til I can't take it anymore
Head games, don't want to play the
Head games

[Verse 3]
So near, so far away
We pass each other by because we don't know what to say
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
But if you wanna win you got to learn how to play

[Chorus]
Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'til I can't take it anymore
Head games, instead of making love
Head games, oh

[Chorus]
Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'til I can't take it anymore
No more head games, instead of making love
We play head games

[Outro]
Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do we do it baby?
Head games, I've been through it baby

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
