lyrics

Composed by Chris Altmann © Mushroom Music Publishing

You ride in cars with strangers
Nobody scares you now
You only want those good times
Run fast but don’t look down

You’re not worried ‘bout your future
But there’s nothing wrong with that
You’re livin’ fast and reckless
Your world’s a welcome mat

Some day I’ll find my way
Out of the grasp of your beautiful skin
I could’ve gave you all my days
But your love I just couldn’t win
Your love I just couldn’t win

Your face still looks so youthful
Your smile’s still full of fun
You look so strong and healthy
Your make-up’s always done

You could have anybody
But you’re happy on your own
No-one could ever change you
No-one could reach that zone

Some day I’ll find my way
Out of the grasp of your beautiful skin
I could’ve gave you all my days
But your love I just couldn’t win
Your love I just couldn’t win

Love ain’t ever gonna play those games with you
Oh, no, no
Love ain’t ever gonna play those games with you
Oh, no, no
Love ain’t ever gonna play those games with you
Oh, no, no
Love ain’t ever gonna play those games with you
