Ellen Foley - Game of a Man lyrics

She sat in her room alone in the murk
It’s time to admit it just doesn’t work

It’s the game of a man to take what he can
It’s the game of a man to take all he can

She curled to her fire the passion of mice
And the memory faded
In cooler than ice, cooler than ice
She threw out her war paint
And her birth control pills
She’s not gonna pick up emotional bills

It’s the game of a man to take what he can
It’s the game of a man to take all he can

She threw out her records
Of the rock and roll freight
Said it’s too many years now
We’ve been losing this game

It’s the hands of a man take what he can
It’s the game of a man to take all he can

Don’t go
