Oh girl you're the main attraction Everybody just wants a piece of you They fall in love with the little things you do And I know this may not come to your surprise But I know you feel it too Deep inside your bones You're ready to go When you take a step up on that stage You put those boys right into a daze They'll never know what hit them till you're gone You leave them gasping for every breath Till they're living with nothing left But that's exactly what you want All you wanna play is games You never stop you never stay Come finish what you started for a change You're always one to point and blame You never give you only take I guess it's just the life you chose to portray And you draw them in just like a siren You pick their pockets with the mask of silence But in their awe they'll never know And you do your job with a graceful ease Leaving those boys begging please Please don't go All you wanna play is games You never stop you never stay Come finish what you started for a change You're always one to point and blame You never give you only take I guess it's just the life you chose to portray All you wanna play is games You never stop you never stay Come finish what you started for a change You're always one to point and blame You never give you only take I guess it's just the life you chose to portray

Jane Doe 03:01
Jane Doe She's a mystery all on her own But that's what makes her beautiful Yeah that's what makes her magical Oh Jane Doe She's like nothing that I've seen before She's got me hooked and I just can't let go No I just can't let go So please give me something Something to get me by Something to pass the time Oh cause I can't I can't get you off my mind This love is such a tragedy It's something that will never cease Because I know Your love is not for me Jane Doe Don't you know that you're one of a kind The kind I'd like to make mine Why can't you be mine Oh Jane Doe Can't you see that I'm burning inside You've gone and set my heart on fire You came and set this heart on fire This heart on fire So please give me something Something to get me by Something to pass the time Oh cause I can't I can't get you off my mind This love is such a tragedy It's something that will never cease Because I know Your love is not for me And I will never move on As long as you're here My love will be your's And I will never move on As long as you're here My love will be your's Jane Doe

Silently I lie awake Trapped inside my bed Counting sheep oh 1, 2, 3 I wish this just would end But it's not the time No it's not the time to sleep But when I close my eyes I can't help but think If you could see That we were meant to be I wouldn't have to sleep alone And if I could speak These words that my heart weep You wouldn't have to be alone So just let my heart be your home This has gone on for too long I can't recall when it started People come and people go It's something I have grown to know But I won't accept this No I won't accept this fate Of living a life with no purpose only shame If you could see That we were meant to be I wouldn't have to sleep alone And if I could speak These words that my heart weep You wouldn't have to be alone So just let my heart be your home And I can't replace this feeling in my heart It's always been there right from the start It's roots are deep within my soul A love that many will never know

Alone in the corner she sits and she waits She has more time than you'd ever think She's all dolled up, just for tonight I wonder who's going to be that one lucky guy Her eyes they shine, like the candlelit light She's got a flame that's burning inside Her stomach is turning, it's twisting in knots But she hasn't even got to the twist in the plot Take a look around my dear The music's getting softer and it's calling out your name The time is now, what are you waiting for You've got the moves that'll put all those girls to shame There in her chair she weeps and she cries She's got nothing but hurt on her mind She's all choked up because of tonight Who would've thought he'd be that kind of guy Her light it fades, it slowly burns out That old chandelier has come crashing down As the panic ensues and the music fades She'll forever hide her face in this masquerade Take a look around my dear The music's getting softer and it's calling out your name The time is now, what are you waiting for You've got the moves that'll put all those girls to shame
