[Verse 1]
Would you be with me — if I had nothing
If I couldn't buy you — something
Now you've got your share
And look who's paying
I got your thing together
Now you're not staying

[Pre-Chorus]
I've worked hard
To get the things I have, ooh
Oh, I've worked hard
To get the things you need
And I wanna know
Why you wanna play on me

[Chorus]
(Why you wanna) Hoo (play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play on me
(Why you wanna) Hoo (play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Shoo-doo (My baby)
(Those games of love)
Shoo-doo (My baby)
[Verse 2]
Is this just a game
That you're used to playing
Or am I just a fool — that's chasing
Girl, I've tried my best — to keep you happy
Instead you turned around
And tried to try me

[Pre-Chorus]
I've worked hard
To get the things I have, hoo
Oh, I've worked hard (Hard)
To get the things you need
And I wanna know
Why you wanna play on me

[Chorus]
(Why you wanna) Hoo (play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Said why you wanna play on me
(Why you wanna) Hoo (play your games on me)
Why you want to play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Oh, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Shoo-doo (My baby)
Hey, hey (The games of love), oh-oh
Baby, baby (My baby)
(Games of love)

[Bridge]
Why you (Chuckii, Chuckii)
Why-why-why-why-why you (Chuckii, Chuckii)
Why-why-why-why-why you (Chuckii, Chuckii)
Why-why-why-why play your games on me (Chuckii, Chuckii)
Why-why-why-why-why you (Chuckii, Chuckii)
Why-why-why-why-why you (Chuckii, Chuckii)
Play your game, play your game
Why-why-why-why-why you (Chuckii, Chuckii)

[Chorus]
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna) Hoo (play your games on me)
Those silly games
(Why you wanna) Oh (play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna) Hoo (play your games on me)
Those silly games
(Why you wanna) Baby girl (play your games on me)
Try to rock my world
[Post-Chorus]
Shoo-doo (My baby)
(All my love)
Shoo-doo (My baby)
(Games of love)

[Outro]
I say why you wanna play
(Why you wanna) Oh (play your games on me)
Why you wanna play
(Why you wanna) Baby girl (play your games on me)
I said why you wanna play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you want to play
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Why you wanna play, hoo
(Why you wanna play your game on me)
Why you wanna play, hoo
(Why you wanna play your game on me)
Why you wanna play, hoo
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
(Play your game on me)
Why you wanna play, ooh, hoo
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Oh, oh, why you wanna play
(Why you wanna) Baby girl (play your games on me)
I said you rock my world
(Why you wanna) Oh (play your games on me)
Why you wanna trip
(Why you wanna) Baby, on me (play your games on me)
Silly girl, I gave you everything that you wanted, honey
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
Oh
(Why you wanna play your games on me)
