[Verse 1]
Is this a game for you? If so then roll the dice
Count your blessings baby and take my advice
If it's a game of snakes and ladders, you're the snake
I'm at the top and won't come down until it breaks
[Chorus]
Ooh, can you feel the heat?
Ooh, when I turn my head don't cheat
Ooh, the games you play
Ooh, they're driving me away
[Verse 2]
Is this a game you like to play with all your girls
Suffocate their sweet voices, atone with pearls
If you fail to prepare, well baby then prepare to fail
I won't back out before you have paid your bail
[Chorus]
Ooh, can you feel the heat?
Ooh, when I turn my head don't cheat
Ooh, the games you play
Ooh, they're driving me away
[Post-Chorus]
It's heated, it's getting hot, it's heated, you're burning up
It's heated, it's getting hot, it's heated, we're burning up
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm two steps ahead or two behind
How much more must I do to see inside your mind?
A waiting game for the dice to roll
Suddenly I see the colour of your soul
The colour of your soul
Come closer, come near, you're getting hot
You're a pawn on the board, like it or not
Come closer, come near, you're getting hot
You're a pawn on the board, like it or not
[Chorus]
Ooh, can you feel the heat?
Ooh, when you turn your head I'll cheat
Ooh, the games I played
Ooh, they drove you away
[Post-Chorus]
It's heated, it's getting hot, it's heated, you're burning up
It's heated, it's getting hot
They drove you away
