Player Not The Game (f. Carl Thomas) Lyrics - Lil' Mo

Stop playin', Mo 

I'm gon' talk about these players 

And we'll also talk about this game 

Huh, this game 

It's somethin' everybody wants to know about 

But who's the victim 

Is it the player 

Or the one bein' played 

Or simply this game, uh 

Early in the morning, he waits by her door 

But she's not there, 'cause she don't care, someone else she adores 

And it's a quarter after midnight, the girl's by her phone 

But he won't call and the tears fall, so she sleeps all alone 

We're in a world that's a ball of confusion 

When the feeling is gone, still we keep holding on 

To love that is just an illusion 

Get to the back of the line, love will call you in time 

On a kaleidoscope of love 

People go 'round and 'round in circles 

Falling in love and feeling pain 

But it's the player, not the game 

See the parade of smiling faces 

No masquerade can fade the shame 

Too many tracks to hide the traces 

But it's the player, not the game 

It's not the game 

I keep all my feelings in a dark deeper place 

Never go there 'cause it's so rare true love shows its face 

I stare out my window when I can't sleep at night 

Many voices, many choices, but I know when it's right 

We're in a world that's a ball of confusion 

When the feeling is wrong, still we keep holding on 

To love that is just an illusion 

Fall to the back of the line, love will call you in time 

On a kaleidoscope of love 

People go 'round and 'round in circles 

Falling in love and feeling pain 

But it's the player, not the game 

See the parade of smiling faces 

No masquerade can fade the shame 

Too many tracks to hide the traces 

But it's the player, not the game 

Blame it on the player 

Foolish heart don't fall too fast 

Not the game 

Blame it on the player 

Foolish heart don't fall too fast 

Not the game 

Blame it on the player 

Foolish heart don't fall too fast 

Not the game 

Blame it on the player 

Foolish heart don't fall, don't fall 

Not the game 

On a kaleidoscope of love 

People go 'round and 'round in circles 

Falling in love and feeling pain 

But it's the player, not the game 

See the parade of smiling faces 

No masquerade can fade the shame 

Too many tracks to hide the traces 

But it's the player, not the game 

On a kaleidoscope of love 

People go 'round and around 

Feeling pain, yeah, yeah 

But it's the player, not the game 

Yeah, yeah 

Don't you know that we go 'round - We go around 

Every day, all day, seven days 

But it's the player, not the game 

On a kaleidoscope of love 

People go 'round and 'round in circles 

Falling in love and feeling pain 

But it's the player, not the game 

See the parade of smiling faces
