Though when I was older, and what I wanted seemed so out of reach
Still I wonder should I, settle for what’s been given to me
My mother used to tell me, “Son, one day you will make a wife so glad”
But I’ve borrowed so much so far, what have I to give that can’t be had
But Oh
Wait a minute, love is not a game to me
Don’t tell me that I’m wrong, for seeing what I see
‘Cause people are not always who they seem to be
It takes one to know one
Speaking with your eyes wide, you tell me how life is supposed to be
The people who have hurt you, reappear in everyone you see
And I know that it hurts so bad, when finding comfort seems a pointless task
But searching where you know it’s not, will only lead you back to greedy hands
But Oh
Wait a minute, love is not a game to me
Don’t tell me that I’m wrong, for seeing what I see
‘Cause people are not always who they seem to be
It takes one to know one
