[Chorus]
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me

[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy I believed
That love was just a dream
Played around with your emotions from the start
But now I can see
That there is more to life than dreams
I finally found someone who makes my life complete
And I know within my heart, your love is true
And that's why I don't...

[Chorus]
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me

[Verse 2]
How could I be so selfish then
Knowing the things that I know now
All the times I tried to love you
I needed you to show me how
But now I can see
That there is more to life than dreams
I finally found someone Who makes my life complete
And I know within my heart, your love is true, so...

[Chorus]
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me
Ooh yeah

[Bridge]
Do you feel the same way too?
(Tell me do you feel the same?)
Is my love too much for you to bear?
(Love too much to bear)
Should I just be on my way?
I wanna stay, oh...

[Chorus]
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me

[Bridge]
I played with your emotions
How could I be so blind?
Don't wanna play those games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me

[Chorus]
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me
Don't wanna play those games no more
I don't wanna break your heart
Don't wanna play those foolish games
'Cause I feel that you're the only one for me

[Outro]
For me
The only one for me
You know

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
