Resurrection Band - Players lyrics

She left me strangely
Not lingering like before her face sad
But sure I stopped her at the door
Made some empty promises she's
Heard too many times
I tried a little sweet talk
To cover lover's crimes

She said, "How do you love
When no one loves in return?
If love is a teacher
Why's it so hard to learn?
Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn?
Are we just players, players in the game?"

I remember kissing fingers wrapped
In her hair in that rush of emotion
Did I ever really care?
And as I saw her silhouette fading down
The hall, I begged for love's mercy
Talking to the wall

Saying, "How do you love
When no one loves in return?
If love is a teacher
Why's it so hard to learn?
Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn?
Are we just players, players in the game?"

When I was a child, trying to
Prove I was a man
I cam upon a woman who told me who I am
Sometimes you play the part so well
You even fool yourself
I need a different kind of love
From somewhere else

True love knows to love when
No one loves in return
Love is the teacher, and I got a lot to learn
Passion takes it's prisoners got to
Break before I burn
Can't be playing, playing loving games

No use playing loving games
