This Game
Parov Stelar feat. Anduze Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll never love him the way that you love me
Cause what we had together don't come about frequently, no
So walk on water, then run on air
You say he's good to you but I don't care

Oh you ?
Oh you ?
Oh you ?

Can't turn me on
I'm not a fool
I don't want to play this game
If you can't play by the rules
Can't turn me on [can't turn me on]
I'm not a fool [I'm not a fool]
I don't want to play this game
If you can't play by the rules

Oh you ?

Don't try to treat me like I'm blind
Cause girl I known you for a long time
You just keep talking telling lies
But you know it aint the truth
and now you got me asking why oh why

Oh you ?

Can't turn me on
I'm not a fool
I don't want to play this game
If you can't play by the rules
[you ?]
Can't turn me on
I'm not a fool
I don't want to play this game
If you can't play by the rules
[oh you ?]
Can't turn me on [can't turn me on]
I'm not a fool [I'm not a fool]
I don't want to play this game
If you can't play by the rules

Oh you ?
Oh you ?
Oh you ?
Oh you ?

Cause I thought love takes time
But you, you don't seem to mind that
I can't do anything
I can't do anything

I can't do anything
Without you in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Parov Stelar feat. Anduze's song "This Game" depict a complicated love triangle in which the singer is deeply in love with someone who is currently in a relationship with another person. The first verse states that the singer's love interest will never be able to love his current partner as much as he loves her, because the connection they share is rare and unique. The lyrics go on to encourage the singer's love interest to take risks and go beyond her current relationship, stating that even if her current partner treats her well, it does not matter because the singer and the love interest share a unique connection.

The chorus of the song then talks about how the singer does not want to play games with the love interest, and how he wants her to be genuine with him. He says that he is not a fool, and that he does not want to engage in a relationship where the rules are not clearly defined. The song continues to illustrate how the singer is fed up with the love interest's lies and games, and how he wants her to be truthful with him.

Line by Line Meaning

You'll never love him the way that you love me
You won't ever have the same level of love for him as you did for me

Cause what we had together don't come about frequently, no
Our relationship was rare and not easily replicated

So walk on water, then run on air
You're asking for impossible feats

You say he's good to you but I don't care
I'm indifferent to your new relationship

Can't turn me on
I'm not easily swayed or convinced

I'm not a fool
I'm not naive enough to fall for your tricks

I don't want to play this game
I'm not interested in participating in this charade

If you can't play by the rules
If you're not going to act honestly and fairly

Don't try to treat me like I'm blind
Don't underestimate my intelligence

Cause girl I known you for a long time
I've known you for a significant period of time

You just keep talking telling lies
You continue to deceive and mislead me

But you know it aint the truth and now you got me asking why oh why
You're aware that what you're saying isn't truthful and now I'm questioning everything

Can't turn me on
I'm not easily swayed or convinced

I'm not a fool
I'm not naive enough to fall for your tricks

I don't want to play this game
I'm not interested in participating in this charade

If you can't play by the rules
If you're not going to act honestly and fairly

Cause I thought love takes time
I believed that love requires patience and effort

But you, you don't seem to mind that
But it seems like you're not willing to put in the work

I can't do anything without you
I feel helpless and incomplete without you
