Her Game

Every time she comes my way she knows just what to do and say

Those little smiles she throws away, they turn my stomach

If you listen close enough you'll catch all the divisive stuff

Those subtle moves, the way she smoothes her hair

And you don't want to say

She was digging your grave

And your friends all can see it

There's no way you're gonna leave it

So where you gonna go

Who you gonna call

When you know it's time to play the game

What's your mystery

Who's it gonna be

When you know it's time to play her game

Is it real or memorex

Those secrets that you feared confess

When she was there you let it all spill out

Turning as you leave for good

You wonder if you ever should have

Wandered through her neighborhood at all

And you don't want to say

She was digging your grave

And your friends all can see it

There's no way you're gonna leave it

I am not to blame

This is my parade of broken-hearted words

I feel them all and learned their shame

Please catch me when I fall

And turn me from this wall I've faced for far too long

This lonely sonnet needs a throng

And you don't want to say

She was digging your grave

And your friends all can see it

There's no way you're gonna leave it
