You swore you'd never again, let yourself be tempted, 
Too many times in the past when you've opened up your heart -- 
You've had it broken in pieces, by too many lies, 
Still it's hard to acknowledge the past -- 
When she flashes those eyes, 
Over and over the song skips, 
Just as the final refrain fades away -- 
Like fools we are caught in the game *
Caught in the game, 
Caught in the game again -- 
Caught in the game, 
Caught in the game* 
I swore I'd never again catch myself believin' 
Too many times 
I've been hurt -- and it makes you hard inside 
But when I saw you in the city tonight -- 
Was it just imagination -- 
Or did your eyes burn a little too bright, 
For purely conversation -- 
Over and over the lights flash down at the corner arcade 
Swept away -- 
Like fools we are caught in the game ( * Repeat) 
Over and over the song skips 
Just as the final refrain fades away. 
Like fools we are caught in the game ( * Repeat)
