Fair Game
Sia/Musicfire.in Lyrics

You terrify me
I am afraid of you

'Cause you're a man, you're not a boy
You are not a child, you are an adult male

You got some power
You possess a degree of strength or influence

And I can't treat you like a toy
I cannot treat you like a plaything or an object to use as I please

You're the road less
You are the path that fewer people choose to take

Travelled by a little girl
Journeyed by a woman who is not fully matured

You disregard the mess while I try to control the world
You do not focus on the chaos, while I try to manage everything around me

Don't leave me, stay here and frighten me
Do not abandon me, remain here and continue to intimidate me

Don't leave me, come now enlighten me
Do not leave me, instead share with me your knowledge and wisdom

Give me all you got
Give me everything you have

Give me your wallet and your watch
Hand over your money and your timepiece

Give me your first-born
Surrender your offspring to me

Give me the rainbow and the
Give me the colors of the spectrum and the...

So go and challenge me
Confront me and test my abilities

Take the reins and see
Take control and discover for yourself

Watch me squirm baby
Observe me writhe in discomfort, my dear

But you are just what I need
However, you are precisely what I require

And I've never played a fair game
I have never played an honest game

I've always had the upper hand
I have always had the advantage

But what good is intellect and airplay
However, what use is intelligence and verbal skills

If I can't respect any man
If I cannot express admiration for any male

Oh I want to play a fair game
Oh, I long to compete in a just and equitable manner

You terrify me
I am afraid of you

We've still not kissed and yet I've cried
We have not yet kissed, yet tears have fallen from my eyes

You got too close and
You approached too closely and

I pushed and pushed hoping you'd bite
I resisted repeatedly, hoping you would become more aggressive

So I could run, run
So that I could run away, repeatedly

And that I did but through the dust
And I did flee, but amidst a cloud of particles

You saw those teeth marks
You noticed the impressions made by my teeth

They weren't all yours, you had been thrust into a history
Not all of the marks were caused by you; you have been inserted into a larger context

That had not worked for me, into a history
That had not been successful for me, situated within a larger narrative

From which I could not flee
A situation from which I could not escape

So go on shake me
Therefore, continue to perturb and agitate me

Shake until I give it up, wearing me down baby
Shake me until I relinquish my resistance, gradually exhausting me, dear

I know that we could make some love
I am aware that we could engage in romantic intimacy

Oh I've never played a fair game
Oh, I have never competed in an honest manner

I've always had the upper hand
I have always had the advantage

But what good is intellect and airplay
However, what use is intelligence and verbal skills

If I can't respect any man
If I cannot express admiration for any male

Yeah I want to play a fair game
Yes, I desire to compete in a just and equitable manner

Yeah I want to play a fair game
Yes, I desire to participate in an honest competition
