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
