      I've seen you twice, in a short time 
      Only a week since we started 
      It seems to me, for every time 
      I'm getting more open-hearted 

      I was an impossible case 
      No-one ever could reach me 
      But I think I can see in your face 
      There's a lot you can teach me 
      So I wanna know 

      What's the name of the game 
      Does it mean anything to you 
      What's the name of the game 
      Can you feel it the way I do 
      
      Tell me please, 'cause I have to know 
      I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow 

      And you make me talk 
      And you make me feel 
      And you make me show 
      What I'm trying to conceal 
      If I trust in you, would you let me down 
      Would you laugh at me 
      If I said I care for you 
      Could you feel the same way too 
      I wanna know 

      The name of the game 

      I have no friends, no-one to see 
      And I am never invited 
      Now I am here, talking to you 
      No wonder I get excited 

      Your smile, and the sound of your voice 
      And the way you see through me 
      Got a feeling, you give me no choice 
      But it means a lot to me 
      So I wanna know 

      What's the name of the game 
      (Your smile and the sound of your voice) 
      Does it mean anything to you 
      (Got a feeling you give me no choice) 
      But it means a lot, what's the name of the game 
      (Your smile and the sound of your voice) 
      Can you feel it the way I do 
      
      Tell me please, 'cause I have to know 
      I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow 

      And you make me talk 
      And you make me feel 
      And you make me show 
      What I'm trying to conceal 
      If I trust in you, would you let me down 
      Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you 
      Could you feel the same way too 
      I wanna know 
      Oh yes I wanna know 

      The name of the game 
      (I was an impossible case) 
      Does it mean anything to you 
      (But I think I can see in your face) 
      That it means a lot 
      What's the name of the game 
      (Your smile and the sound of your voice) 
      Can you feel it the way I do 
      (Got a feeling you give me no choice) 
      But it means a lot, what's the name of the game 
      (I was an impossible case) 
      Does it mean anything to you 
      (But I think I can see in your face) 
      That it means a lot
