Love,
Is like playing with fire,
It's a heated disaster,
Fixin' to blow.
Somebody told me,
To be careful with lovin'
And to stop wearin'
My heart on my sleeve.
Was I blind or blindsided,
When you hit me like a freight train?
Were my emotions misguided,
When I fell for your mind games?
Mind games, mind games, your mind games.
Well I,
I've learned my lesson,
About first impressions,
Not always what their worth.
Well you,
You had me goin',
Just like an angel from heaven,
I was a little bit off.
Was I blind or blindsided,
When you hit me like a freight train?
Were my emotions misguided,
When I fell for your mind games?
Was I blind or blindsided,
When you hit me like a freight train?
Were my emotions misguided,
When I fell for your mind games?
Mind games, mind games, your mind games.
I never saw, I never saw, I never saw you coming.
I never saw, I never saw, I never saw you leaving.
I never saw, I never saw, I never saw you coming.
I never saw, I never saw, I never saw you leaving.
Was I blind or blindsided,
When you hit me like a freight train?
Were my emotions misguided,
When I fell for your mind games?
Was I blind or blindsided,
When you hit me like a freight train?
Were my emotions misguided,
When I fell for your mind games?
Your mind games.
Mind games, mind games, your mind games.
