Cassie Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How does it feel to know that you've been played?
Now when you see me I'm your every thing
Now that you need me I've got other plans
I don't play games if I want you
I just take things when I want to
What I like, when I like, if I want
You never thought that I could get control
I shoulda warned you I've done this before
If I wanted it, I could get it right now
Put you on your knees, take what I could vow
Make you do things you would never do
Just because I can; I thought that you knew
I don't play games if I want you
I just take things when I want to
What I like, when I like, if I want
Who I like, how I like, when I want
I don't play games if I want you
I just take things when I want to
What I like, when I like, if I want
Who I like, how I like, when I want
(Who I like, how I like, when I want
Who I like, how I like, when I want
Who I like, how I like, when I want)
I don't play games if I want you
I just take things when I want to
What I like, when I like, if I want
Who I like, how I like, when I want
I don't play games if I want you
I just take things when I want to
What I like, when I like, if I want
Who I like, how I like, when I want
The song "Games" by Cassie Steele is a defiant anthem about not being played in relationships. The lyrics are directed at someone who thought they had control over the singer and their emotions, but now realizes that the tables have turned. The singer calls out the other person for thinking they could manipulate and use them only to be left in the dust when they were no longer needed. The lyrics emphasize that the singer doesn't play games when they want someone, they take what they want and go after who they want without any hesitation or second thoughts.
As the song continues, the singer's tone grows more confident and almost dominant. They warn the other person that they have been in control before and that they could easily do it again. The singer asserts that they could make the other person do things they never thought they would, just because they can. The repeated lyrics "I don't play games if I want you, I just take things when I want to" highlights the confidence and authority the singer has over their relationships, refusing to let anyone else take control.
Overall, "Games" is a powerful song about taking control of your own life and refusing to be manipulated by others. It's an empowering message that reminds us all to stay true to ourselves and not let anyone else take advantage of our feelings.
