name of the game - susanna hoffs lyrics

[verse 1]
saw the railway master, i looked him in the eye
i said, “would you go much faster, if you thought that you would die?”
he said, “no, not me, sir, i could not care, in fact, i would not try
for protest would not take me far, it’s different, me not bein’ a star”
i locked my feelings in a jar until another day

[verse 2]
oh, comfort me, dear brother, won’t you tell me what you know?
for somewhere in this paper world is a place where i can go
oh, long*awaited mother, is it time to make a show?
and take your babies to your breast, you know we never passed the test
all our sins should be confessed before we carry on

[chorus]
oh, don’t refuse me
if you choose me, you’ll follow my shame
no, don’t confuse me
for i know it’s the name of the game

[verse 3]
i got up off my pillow, i looked up at the sun
i said, “you can see quite clearly now things that we have done
we burned your sacred willow, our battles we have won
but did we get so very far? it’s different, me not bein’ a star”
lock my feelings in a jar until we go away
[chorus]
oh, don’t refuse me
if you choose me, you’ll follow my shame
no, don’t confuse me
for i know it’s the name of the game
oh, don’t refuse me
if you choose me, you’ll follow my shame
no, don’t confuse me
for i know it’s the name of the game
