Player Not the Game (feat. Carl Thomas) (LP Version)

Stop playin' Mo

I'm gon' talk about these players

And we'll also talk about this game

Huh this game

It's somethin' everybody wants to know about

But who's the victim

Is it the player

Or the one bein' played

Or simply this game uh

Early in the morning he waits by her door

But she's not there 'cause she don't care someone else she adores

And it's a quarter after midnight the girl's by her phone

But he won't call and the tears fall so she sleeps all alone

We're in a world that's a ball of confusion

When the feeling is gone still we keep holding on

To love that is just an illusion

Get to the back of the line love will call you in time

On a kaleidoscope of love

People go 'round and 'round in circles

Falling in love and feeling pain

But it's the player not the game

See the parade of smiling faces

No masquerade can fade the shame

Too many tracks to hide the traces

But it's the player not the game

It's not the game

I keep all my feelings in a dark deeper place

Never go there 'cause it's so rare true love shows its face

I stare out my window when I can't sleep at night

Many voices many choices but I know when it's right

We're in a world that's a ball of confusion

When the feeling is wrong still we keep holding on

To love that is just an illusion

Fall to the back of the line love will call you in time

On a kaleidoscope of love

People go 'round and 'round in circles

Falling in love and feeling pain

But it's the player not the game

See the parade of smiling faces

No masquerade can fade the shame

Too many tracks to hide the traces

But it's the player not the game

Blame it on the player

Foolish heart don't fall too fast

Not the game

Blame it on the player

Foolish heart don't fall too fast

Not the game

Blame it on the player

Foolish heart don't fall too fast

Not the game

Blame it on the player

Foolish heart don't fall don't fall

Not the game

On a kaleidoscope of love

People go 'round and 'round in circles

Falling in love and feeling pain

But it's the player not the game

See the parade of smiling faces

No masquerade can fade the shame

Too many tracks to hide the traces

But it's the player not the game

On a kaleidoscope of love

People go 'round and around

Feeling pain yeah yeah

But it's the player not the game

Yeah yeah

Don't you know that we go 'round - We go around

Every day all day seven days

But it's the player not the game

On a kaleidoscope of love

People go 'round and 'round in circles

Falling in love and feeling pain

But it's the player not the game

See the parade of smiling faces
