The Name of the Game Songtext
von ABBA

I′ve seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There′s a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, ′cause I have to know
I′m a bashful child, beginning to grow


And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
The name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know

What′s the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
(But it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, ′cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child, beginning to grow


And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I′m trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
Oh yes I wanna know

The name of the game
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
(That it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
(Got a feeling you give me no choice)
(But it means a lot)

What's the name of the game?
(I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you?
(But I think I can see in your face)
(That it means a lot)
What′s the name of the game?
(Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?
