Games
New Kids on the Block Lyrics

Somebody said somebody wouldn't last too long, somebody's still going strong.
Someone thought we wouldn't succeed, but we've proven them wrong.

Somebody said somebody was all a front, somebody's still talking junk.
Someone accused us of being fake, but they're still spreading negative rumors about us.

Think of what you say, think of what you do, think of what you try to put us through. We're just singing our song.
Consider the impact of your words and actions on us because we are simply expressing ourselves.

When you put us down, it ain't gonna get you nowhere. We're positive and no matter what you think we really care.
Insulting us won't benefit you in any way. We have a positive attitude and genuinely care regardless of what you believe.

Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, games, games, games, games, games.
The games people play are persistent and draining.

Somebody said somebody worked too hard, somebody gotta charm some hearts. Somebody said everybody's gonna wait and see, what's gonna be is gonna be.
Someone claimed we were working too hard, while others suggested that our journey was going to end in a particular way, regardless of our efforts.

Yeah, people keep on fronting on the Beantown posse, but it's time to step up to the stand, 'cause we ain't going out like that.
Many people continue to doubt and criticize us, but we refuse to back down.

Back, huh, stronger than ever, did you think we'd sever? Never, we're too clever to be taken down clown by your ignorant state of mind, I ain't blind but every time I look I find you dissin' a mission that strictly be righteous, we gotta fight this so now I think I might just
We are back, better than ever before, and resilient. We have too much intelligence to be harmed by your close-mindedness. Whenever we see you criticizing our vision that's doing good, we are going to fight against it.

take a stand, man, like never before, and I'm sure that we'll endure so now it's time to even the score I hear you knocking me but you ain't shocking me 'cause jealousy is telling me that you're just jocking me so keep on talking skee, with pride I'm walking see, because on anybody's block is where I'm gonna be rockin' gee.
It's time to take an unprecedented stand for what we believe, and we'll overcome obstacles. Hearing your negative feedback doesn't intimidate us because you're motivated by jealousy.

Don't play those games, oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, stop playing those games. (repeat ad lib & fade)
We're tired of playing these draining games, so don't play them anymore.
