The Game Lyrics by Nikki Cleary

Nikki Cleary

2003

Me and my girlfriends are always in competition
We picked a guy
Made a bet who could be the first to kiss him
The game was make the poor boy beg
Be the one inside his head
I played the game to win
Left the girls in the rearview
I got into first position
While they were hitting on him
Flirting with him
I was turning his ignition
Thought he was just a game to win
But now I'm hearing violins
And now the joke's on me...
[Chorus]
Get your hands off my baby
The bet's off
It's not a game anymore
You see the plan's gone wrong
And you can't touch
Not playing like I was before
You gotta keep the game our little secret
He can never know the score
Now I love him
I don't want him to hate me for it
It's not a game anymore
We were bored
Hanging out
Just looking for a new distraction
But the plan backfired
Ended up as reverse attraction
It was just a little innocent fun
But I'm the one who's coming all undone
And now the joke's on me
Get your hands off my baby
The bet's off
It's not a game anymore
You see the plan's gone wrong
And you can't touch
Not playing like I was before
You gotta keep the game our little secret
He can never know the score
Now I love him
I don't want him to hate me for it
It's not a game anymore
What he don't know won't hurt him
Stop flirting
Leave us alone
Leave us alone
Get your hands off my baby
The bet's off
It's not a game anymore
You see the plan's gone wrong
And you can't touch
Not playing like I was before
You gotta keep the game our little secret
He can never know the score
Now I love him
I don't want him to hate me for it
It's not a game anymore
Get your hands off my baby
The bet's off
It's not a game anymore
You see the plan's gone wrong
And you can't touch
Not playing like I was before
You gotta keep the game our little secret
He can never know the score
Now I love him
I don't want him to hate me for it
It's not a game anymore
