Head Games
Foreigner Lyrics

Day light, alright, I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Uncertainty and confusion on if things are as they appear during the day.

Been a long night, and something ain't right
A premonition that something is not right, after a long night of introspection.

You won't show, you won't show how you feel
The person is holding back and is unwilling to show their true feelings.

No time ever seems right, to talk about the reasons why you and I fight
There is never a good time to talk and try to resolve the issues between two people.

It's high time to draw the line, put an end to this game, before it's too late
It is past the time to stop playing games and find a resolution that benefits all, before it's too late.

Head games, it's you and me, baby
The communication breakdown and games being played between the two people in the relationship.

Head games, and I can't take it anymore
The person is fed up with the games being played in the relationship.

Head games, I don't want to play the head games
The lack of desire for playing games and wanting to resolve the issues between the two people.

A daydream, for hours it seems, I keep thinking of you, yeah thinking of you
The person is constantly thinking of the other person, even in their daydreams.

These daydreams, what do they mean
The person is unsure of what their daydreams mean and if they hold any truth.

They keep haunting me, are they warning me
The person is being haunted by their thoughts and is unsure if they are warning signs.

Daylight turns into night
Time is passing, and the issues between the two are still unresolved.

We try and find the answer, but it's nowhere in sight
Despite trying to resolve the issues, there seems to be no solution in sight.

It's always the same, and you know who's to blame
The cycle of issues repeats, and the person knows who is responsible for it.

You know what I'm saying, still we keep on playing
Despite understanding what the other person is saying, there is still a game being played to avoid confronting the issues.

Head games, that's all I get from you
Feeling like all they're getting from the other person are mind games.

Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Being unable to handle the mind games anymore.

Head games, don't want to play the head games
The desire to stop playing games and resolve the issues between them.

So near, so far away, we pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say
The two people are close to each other, yet far apart because they do not know what to say and how to resolve the issues between them.

It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
It has become evident that something needs to be done to resolve the issues.

But if you want to win, you gotta learn how to play
To resolve the issues, both parties need to be willing to work together and find a solution.

Head games, always you and me, baby
The communication breakdown and games being played between the two people in the relationship.

Head games, till I can't take it anymore
Being unable to handle the mind games anymore and needing a resolution.

Head games, instead of making love
The game-playing has replaced the intimate connection between the two people.

Head games, oh
An exclamation of frustration towards the games being played.

Head games, in the first degree
The mind games being played are severe.

Head games, yeah, always you and me
The cycle of game-playing and communication breakdown is ongoing between the two people.

Head games, why do you do it, baby
Questioning why the other person is continuing to play these games.

Head games, you put me through it baby
Feeling like the games being played are causing undue stress and hardship.
