[Verse 1]
This relationship is going nowhere
And now it's time that I voice my thoughts to you
It is a piece on my mind that I want to share
About lately all the changes that we go through
See, you've been causing problems in my world, baby
With all of your insecurities and things
If you were more comforting about being my girl, baby
Cause I'm shouting it out, we can have a little time from pain
'Cause I...

[Chorus 1]
I...
I don't wanna play your games
('Cause I'd be acting just like you)
I...
I don't wanna play your games
(And that's not what I wanna do)

[Verse 2]
When we go out, why do the things you do?
See, your jealous games, they just don't agree with me, baby
Just behaving, it makes you look like a fool
Although with that attitude, just because a girl takes [?]
Why flirt with the next man who would say [?]
Attention comes from me without all that mess
These silly games, girl, I might not want you back
It ain't that serious 'cause girl, I ain't all that 'pressed
Oh, I...

[Chorus 1]
I...
I don't wanna play your games
('Cause I'd be acting just like you)
I...
I don't wanna play your games
(And that's not what I wanna do)

[Bridge]
Oh
I don't wanna play
No, no, no, no
Don't wanna play no games
(You know what, baby?)
'Cause, baby, I don't wanna play your games

[Chorus 2]
I...
I don't wanna play your games
(I don't wanna play, don't wanna play no more games)
I...
(And I.. don't...)
I don't wanna play your games
(Don't you know what I need?)
I...
I don't wanna play your games
(Don't you know how to [?])
I...
I don't wanna play your games
(I don't wanna play no games, no more, no more, no more)
I...
(Girl, I'm fed up with all of your little bitty things)
I don't wanna play your games
(Won't you leave me alone? I can't take it no more, no, no, no)
I... (I...)
I don't wanna play your games
(I don't wanna play your little bitty games, baby)
I...
I don't wanna play your games...
