Quit Playing Games
NKOTBSB Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, oh

Even in my heart I see
You're not bein' true to me
Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing's like it used to be

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time

Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Quit playin' games with my heart

Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games with my heart
I should've known from the start
You know you got to stop (from my heart)
You're tearing us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games with my heart

I live my life the way
To keep you comin' back to me
Everything I do is for you
So what is it that you can't see

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
You better quit playin' games with my heart

Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games with my heart
I should've known from the start
You know you got to stop (from my heart)
You're tearing us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games

Baby, baby the love that we had was so strong
Don't leave me hangin' here forever
Oh baby, baby this is not right
Let's stop this tonight

Baby, (oh) quit playin' games
Baby

Sometimes I wish I could
Turn back time, impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Quit playin' games with my heart

Quit playin' games with my heart
Before you tear us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games with my heart
I should've known from the start
You know you got to stop (from my heart)
You're tearing us apart (my heart)
Quit playin' games with my heart

Quit playin' games with my heart
Baby

Quit playin' games with my heart
With my heart

My heart
With my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NKOTBSB's "Quit Playing Games" describe a person whose partner is not being honest with them, causing them to feel insecure and worried about the state of their relationship. The person expresses a desire to turn back time and fix things, but knows that it is impossible. They urge their partner to stop playing games with their heart and to be honest with them so that they can work things out.

The chorus of the song is a plea for the partner to quit playing games with their heart, to stop tearing them apart, and to be honest with them. The second verse of the song describes the person's efforts to keep their partner coming back to them, and how they feel that everything they do is for them. They cannot understand why their partner is not being honest with them, and how it is causing them to feel.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of frustration and sadness about a relationship that is falling apart because of a lack of honesty and communication. It is a relatable song for anyone who has dealt with these issues in a relationship.

hahaa... I wish....

Strange as it may seem when our mind hears the sounds of music can suddenly change our feelings in an instant into another dimension taking us to another place back in time then touches our heart making the memories come alive just once more amazing as it all seems lost for words only thoughts to linger with us until we leave this world ...

Good memories for sure...
I cried listening to this on the bus I was literally overwhelmed with emotions. Such a feel-good nostalgic vibe. Such a freaking nostalgia attack.... that hearing this after all of these years.

It gives me so many shivers... Just imagine yourself driving a car on a motorway at orangy sunset remembering your childhood and good music... Loneliness...

I guess I'm the only Sri Lankan who listens to the song right now.. Bit strange tho. Love from "lockdown" London. Be kind... xx

The 90s were the BEST. No smartphones, no social media. Your world was limited to your neighborhood, family and friends...and music like this was your escape. I remember how this music made me feel.

Be a person of good character and integrity. Never allow anyone to snuff out the light in your heart. We only have each other and being good is not sacrificing yourself, it’s helping when you can. Being rich is not about gold but about the people you have helped. When the elderly woman comes to the restaurant hold the door for her. Love others as you would a close friend and then maybe the 90s will return.

The quintet, which was in charge of the singing part of the five attractive voices of #realism and deep bass, #camera split cut split, and multi-track recording, was impressed with the beautiful vibrato and harmony of the song. I was impressed with the composition of the video and the transition of the video editing. The sepia color in the video goes to the world of old memories, 🙌👍❤️ Thank you. 😊

Back in 1999, I was 14. I was learning English as a Second Language. BSB was the most popular boy band ever and the teacher gave us these lyrics to teach us "Wishes"... .I remember asking myself: what is It like to feel a desire to turn back time? And now It makes so much sense I wanna cry.

Strange as it may seem when our mind hears the sounds of music can suddenly change our feelings in an instant into another dimension taking us to another place back in time then touches our heart making the memories come alive just once more amazing as it all seems lost for words only thoughts to linger with us until we leave this world ...

Good memories for sure...
I cried listening to this on the bus I was literally overwhelmed with emotions. Such a feel-good nostalgic vibe. Such a freaking nostalgia attack.... that hearing this after all of these years.

It gives me so many shivers... Just imagine yourself driving a car on a motorway at orangy sunset remembering your childhood and good music... Loneliness...

I guess I'm the only Sri Lankan who listens to the song right now.. Bit strange tho. Love from "lockdown" London. Be kind... xx

I remember, I was on my 3rd year high, in love with someone but can't express my feelings to her. This song brings me back to that particular December, where I was on my happy days with my friends and classmates, the brst part is always in the afternoon, when it's raining and we were practicing songs and plays for our Christmas party. Everyone was happy.
