Lyrics
I?VE BEEN A PAWN IN THE LONELY GAME
Words and music by Andrea Wittgens (2002)
Cut. Lights. It?s not right.
Let?s call the whole thing off
Enough said. This temporary bed
Turned cold as an artic night
Cancel the show. The crowd already knows
The stars have long burned out
Glitter is gone so sing that final song
Baby it?s time to go home
I?ve been a pawn in the lonely game
Tried and my heart was true
Don?t give your heart to the lonely game
Love make a mess of you
Sensational girl. Give her a whirl.
I came when you called my name
Boys with toys inside making noise
While the losers get to dance in the rain
I could be strong. I?ve waited for so long
Leave with a carload or less
But wild moon can?t leave you so soon
Maybe I?m tired of this quest
I?ve been a pawn in the lonely game
Tried and my heart was true
Don?t give your heart to the lonely game
Love make a mess of you
