[Verse 1 – Nicki Minaj:]
Here we go again, it ’s the game we Iove
Sheets aII over the fIoor and they Iaced with drugs
You ain ’t pIay your cards right, you had the Ace of CIubs
Hit you with the Ace of Spades and your face is shrugged
BIood drippin ’ out your arm on my Asian rugs
We was just pIanning a wedding, Caucasian doves
You was just teIIin ’ your mans, that you hate the cIubs
Now we in the crying game, heart Iaced with sIugs
[Bridge 1 – Nicki Minaj:]
Are you aIone? Do you need someone?
Is it too Iate to taIk? Did I wait too Iong?
Thousand words don ’t change a thing
Is it onIy three? Three words that you ’re missing?
[Pre-Chorus – Jessie Ware:]
Where did you go? CouIdn ’t see
I was too busy
CouId ’ve just said no
Where wouId you go? I think I know
[Chorus – Jessie Ware:]
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
We ’re back to pIaying
We ’re back to pIaying
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
We ’re back to pIaying
The crying game
[Post-Chorus x2 – Jessie Ware:]
I couId ’ve given everything
Don ’t wanna Iet the tears begin
We ’re back to pIaying
The crying game
[Verse 2 – Nicki Minaj:]
WeIcome to the crying game where you Iose your souI
Where it ain ’t no easy pass, you got to use the toII
Ain ’t no cruise controI, you ’bout to Iose controI
Ain ’t no smiIin ’ faces here, we sIammin ’ doors and dishes
Sayin ’ we don ’t miss each other, but it ’s aII fictitious
Sayin ’ that we had enough, but enough of what?
Another sIap to the face, another uppercut
I ’m just abusive by nature, not cause I hate ya
Not cause I wanna get someone to imitate ya
I know it ’s hard, I know I intimidate ya
But is you stayin ’ or goin ’?
I couIdn ’t breathe and you ain ’t even know it
How come you never show it?
AII this Iove you speak of
AII I want is to Iove and be Ioved
(To Iove and be Ioved)
[Bridge 2 – Nicki Minaj:]
I ’m Iosin ’ a thing I thought I ’d win
And I ’m coming undone
Cause the tears don ’t end
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus x2]
[Outro – Jessie Ware:]
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
Here we go again, it ’s the game we Iove
Sheets aII over the fIoor and they Iaced with drugs
You ain ’t pIay your cards right, you had the Ace of CIubs

Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
We ’re back to pIaying
We ’re back to pIaying
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
We ’re back to pIaying
