Fair Game
You terrify me ‘cos you’re a man, you’re not a boyYou got some power and I can’t treat you like a toy
You’re the road less traveled by a little girl
You disregard the mess while I try to control the world
Don’t leave me, stay here, and frighten me Don’t leave me, come now, enlighten me Give me all you got, give me your wallet and your watch
Give me your first born, give me the rainbow and the…
So go on and challenge me, take the reins and see
Watch me squirm, baby, but you are just what I need
And I’ve never played a fair game
I’ve always had the upper hand
But what good is intellect and airplay
If I can’t respect any man?
Oh, I want to play a fair game
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
You terrify me, we’ve still not kissed, and yet I’ve cried
You got too close in, I pushed and pushed hoping you’d bite
So I could run, run, and that I did, but trough the dust
You saw those teeth marks, they weren’t all yours. You had been thrust
Into a history that had not worked for me Into a history from which I could not flee
So go on, shake me, shake until I give it up Wearing me down, baby, I know that we could make some love
So go on and challenge me, take the reins and see
Watch me squirm, baby, but you are just what I need
And I’ve never played a fair game
I’ve always had the upper hand
But what good is intellect and airplay
If I can’t respect any man?
Oh, I want to play a fair game
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
