So you want to play games, huh?
Well, I’ll tell you something.
You’re getting into a game you can’t win.
Cuz I’m not going to play by your rules.

In fact, by the rules I’m using,
I’m not playing your game at all.
You’re getting into my arena, girl.
Be careful where you tread.

I don’t want to hurt you, trust me,
But you’re pushing your way in.
I’d be happy to let you be,
But apparently, you won’t do the same for me.

You think I’m stupid,
But I’ve got you figured out.
You’re jealous of me, I can tell.
You think of me as your rival.
And you don’t know that I know this.

I’m smarter than you, girl.
And I’m secure in my place
While you seem to be lost in yours.
I know where I stand,
And I know that worries you.

I’m gonna keep doing what I’ve been doing,
Cuz that’s been enough to keep him after me
Even when we’ve been far apart.

But I won’t be the one who takes you two apart.
I think that you can do that on your own.

I don’t think you deserve him
But as long as you make him happy,
You get a free ride.

I’ll tell you this:
I’m not clueless. I see right through you.
And I’m not going to play your game.
You’re playing my game,
And I’m not going to play fair.
My way of not playing fair isn’t like yours.
But my way is the way that will win.

I’m not going to seduce him like you’ll try to.
No, I wouldn’t fall that low.
In fact, the way I play this game,
It’s like I’m not playing a game at all.
I’ll just keep being here for him when he needs me.
I’ll treat him right.
I’ll be the one who makes him laugh.

He respects me, and apparently,
He talks about me enough to make you worry.
Well, he and I have something special.
It doesn’t have to be something romantic (though I wish it was).
No matter what happens,
He and I’ll be best friends forever.
Deal with it.

So you might think you’ve won,
But really, you haven’t.
When you really love someone,
You just want them to be happy.
Like I said,
You make him happy (for now),
So I won’t fight you over him.
I’m not playing your game.
How can you win a game
When you have no opponents?

But you’re playing my game, girl.
And in my game there are no rules.
