Baby, I'm a liar when I tell you that I just don't care
Babe, I've got to have you but you're never ever, ever there
Hey, the game is over, give it up right now
You're teasin' me, baby, how do you expect me to be without you

[Chorus]
You let your hair down low
You didn't want to know about lovin' me, babe
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
Let's live for today, tomorrow may never come
But you just can't tell anymore

Baby, you're a teaser but you just don't dare
Baby, keep your secrets, this whole thing just ain't fair
Tonight is almost over, tomorrow you'll be gone away
So please baby, won't you stay

[Chorus: x2]
