Silly Games
Lindy Layton feat. Janet Kay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For so long, it's a shame
Oh, baby
Every time I hear your name
Oh, the pain
Boy, how it hurts me inside
'Cause every time we meet
I'm wondering what I should do
Should I, dear, come up to you
And say, "how do you do?"
Would you turn me away?
You're as much to blame
'Cause I know you feel the same
I can see it in your eyes
But I've got no time to live this lie
No, I've got no time to play your silly games
Silly games
Yet, in my mind I say
"If he makes his move today
I'll just pretend to be shocked"
Oh, baby
It's a tragedy
That you hurt me
We don't even try
You're as much to blame
'Cause I know you feel the same
I can see it in your eyes
But I've got no time to live this lie
No, I've got no time to play your silly games
Silly games
Silly games
Silly games (no, don't wanna play)
Silly games (your silly)
No, I've got no time to play your silly games
No

I've been wanting you
I have been desiring you for a long time
For so long, it's a shame
It is regrettable that I have been wanting you for such a long time
Every time I hear your name
Each time I hear your name mentioned
Oh, the pain
It causes me emotional suffering
Boy, how it hurts me inside
I feel emotional pain deep within myself
Cause every time we meet
Because every time we encounter each other
We play hide and seek
We avoid being straightforward with each other
I'm wondering what I should do
I am pondering what my course of action should be
Should I, dear, come up to you
Should I approach you, my dear
And say, 'how do you do?'
And greet you with a simple salutation
Would you turn me away?
Would you reject me?
You're as much to blame
You bear an equal amount of responsibility
Cause I know you feel the same
Because I am aware that you share my feelings
I can see it in your eyes
I detect it through your gaze
But I've got no time to live this lie
However, I do not have the time or the desire to continue pretending
No, I've got no time to play your silly games
No, I do not have the patience to engage in your childish behavior
Yet, in my mind I say
Nonetheless, I think to myself
If he makes his move today
If he were to take action today
I'll just pretend to be shocked
I will feign surprise
Oh, baby
Oh, my dear
It's a tragedy
It is a great misfortune
That you hurt me
That you have caused me pain
We don't even try
We do not make an effort to be honest with each other
Silly games
Childish behavior
No, don't wanna play
No, I do not want to participate
Your silly
Your foolish
No, I've got no time to play your silly games
No, I do not have the time or the inclination to engage in your childish behavior
