Daylight, alright
I don’t know, I don’t know if it’s real
Been a long night and something ain’t right
You won’t show, you won’t show how you feel

No time ever seems right
To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It’s high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game before it’s too late

Head games, it’s you and me baby
Head games, and I can’t take it anymore
Head games, I don’t wanna play the…
Head games

I daydream for hours it seems
I keep thinkin’ of you, yeah, thinkin’ of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?

Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer but it’s nowhere in sight
It’s always the same and you know who’s to blame
You know what I’m sayin’, still we keep on playin’

Head games, that’s all I get from you
Head games, and I can’t take it anymore
Head games, don’t wanna play the…
Head games

So near, so far away
We pass each other by ’cause we don’t know what to say
It’s so clear, I’m sorry to say
But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, ’till I can’t take it anymore
Head games, instead of makin’ love
Head games, ooh

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, ’till I can’t take it anymore, no more
Head games, instead of makin’ love, we play
Head games

Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do you do it baby?
Head games
