Bernie LaBarge: Stop the game [lyrics]

Bernie LaBarge

Stop the game

Where is that pretty smile that used to drive me crazy?

Where did that piece of heaven go?

All the love that I've been giving you so freely

Is left here standing on its own

Who told you it's alright to disregard your lover?

Who said that love's a one-way street?

You'd better listen to your heart before tomorrow

Or else you'll find that it's too late

Well I know the world is turning

But for me it's standing still

There's a lesson I am learning

And I'll bite the bullet before it kills

Stop the game before it's started

And save a lot of pain

I've got no need for the broken hearted

Let's start all over again

I can't come running every time you've got a notion

I'm not a puppet on a string

I want a woman who is filled with deep emotion

Soemone to be my everything

Well I know that there's an answer

And it's written in your heart

If you know we've got a problem

Get it out before we fall apart

Stop the game before it's started

And save a lot of pain (I've learned my lesson well)

I've got no need for the broken hearted

Let's start all over again (and I think we'd better start right now)

Yes, I know the world is turning

But for me it's standing still

There's a lesson I am learning

And I'll bite that bullet before it kills

Stop the game before it's started

And save a lot of pain

I've got no need for the broken hearted

Let's start all over again (I've learned my lesson well)

Stop the game before it's started

And save a lot of pain (the pain you save might be your own)

I've got no need for the broken hearted

Let's start all over again
