Playing your game your mother substitute She is she That you never screwed Playing your game Her life revolves round and round you A total investment Can't afford to love You're the prize for her sacrifice - A kiss in the morning A kiss late at night She's closing her eyes To those possible lies Keeping the doubts Locked tight up inside Playing your game She taking care of you Watching out for your head When you're sick She puts you to bed She props you up nurses you through she's here to look after you Playing your game with the rules that you've set We're on either side Am I such a threat Playing your game Taking care of your needs She is your security I may remark on your insensitivity But you know she wouldn't listen to me
