(The game is over)
(Game over, game)
(Game over, game)
(Game over)
Ah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Is what you think you are
But you're so typical
Though you think that you're a star
You act like everyone (everyone)
Revolves around you
Baby, you dropped the ball (dropped the ball)
And now the game is through
'Cause you tried to play both sides (both sides)
You got caught up in your lies (in your lies)
And now you're runnin', you're runnin' out of time
You played yourself
But did you, did you think that you can really find love from someone else?
You're makin' moves, you're gonna lose, you know you played yourself
And now you're thinkin', thinkin' you can get one by me
But you'll never win, but you'll never win
Try again 'cause the game is over
(The game is over)
Take it personal
'Cause I did when you cheated on me
You may be beautiful
But there's more that the eye can't see
You're so predictable
The way you calculate each move
Heads I win, tails you lose
Because you don't have the right to choose
'Cause you tried to play both sides (both sides)
You got caught up in your lies (in your lies)
And now you're running, you're running out of time
(Yeah, yeah-yeah)
You played yourself (ooh)
But did you, did you think that you can really find love from someone else?
You're makin' moves, you're gonna lose, you know you played yourself
And now you're thinkin', thinkin' you can get one by me
But you'll never win, but you'll never win
Try again 'cause the game is over, yeah
How could you think that you could do me like that?
Runnin' behind my back
How could you do me like that? (Do me like that)
Now the game is over (oh)
How could you think that you could do me like that?
Do me like that?
Do me like that?
Played yourself (oh)
But did you, did you think that you can really find love from someone else?
(Though you vow)
You're makin' moves, you're gonna lose
You know you played yourself (played yourself)
And now you're thinkin', thinkin' you can get one by me (get one by me)
But you'll never win, but you'll never win
Try again 'cause the game is over (oh)
You played yourself (oh)
But did you, did you think that you can really find love from someone else?
(Find love)
You're makin' moves, you're gonna lose (oh)
You know you played yourself (you know you played yourself)
And now you're thinkin', thinkin' you can get one by me (get one by me)
But you'll never win, but you'll never win
Try again 'cause the game is over
(Game over)

The game is over
The relationship is over and there's no going back
Invincible
You think you're untouchable
Is what you think you are
That's just your perception
But you're just so typical
You're not as unique as you think
Though you think that you're a star
You have an ego and think very highly of yourself
You act like
You behave as though
Everyone revolves around you
You think the world revolves around you
Baby you dropped the ball
You made a mistake or error that cost you everything
And now the game is through
The relationship or situation is over
You played yourself (Game over, game)
You're the one who caused your own downfall
But did you, did you think
Did you really believe
That you could really find love from someone else
Did you honestly think you could find love while cheating
You're making moves,
You're taking actions
You're gonna lose, you know
You will ultimately fail
Take it personal
Take it as a direct affront
'Cause I did
Because I was hurt by your actions
When you cheated on me
When you were unfaithful to me
You may be beautiful
You might be attractive
But there's more That the eye can see
There's more to a person than just their physical appearance
You're so predictable
Your actions are easy to anticipate
The way you calculate each move
You are very deliberate and strategic
Heads I win Tails you lose
You can't win either way
Because you don't have The right to choose
You don't get to make decisions when you betray someone
How could you think that
Did you really believe
You could do me like that?
You could betray me in that way?
Running behind my back
Being deceitful when I wasn't looking
And now you want me back
You want me to forgive you and take you back
Do me like that, do me like that?
Do you think I'll just forget everything and take you back?

This generation wonders how we '90s teens survived without google, and social media. This is it lol. We lived through it and it was awesome.

It was much more better without social media, smart phones.all the things that cut you from going out the door and live and see life with your own eyes.
