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
