lyrics

Baby you've got
a monopoly on my heart
I can't see straight
and you've got all of the
utilities, electricity
I got a fist full of nothing with no capabilities
You're holding Boardwalk, Pacific Avenue
I got a cardboard box and some raggedy tennis shoes
(I thought that you should know)
Just give me a chance so I can pass go

I can't win,
when you're playing your games
I can't win
when you wait the dice
and play your hands that way
I can't win,
when you're playing your games
baby, baby come on

Hold up, wait a minute
Baby, Tisk, tisk
What's that? I didn't mean it!
Get out! Whoa...
Hold up,
Wait.
Baby, Tisk, tisk
What's that? I didn't mean it!
Get out! Whoa...

I can't win,
when you're playing your games
I can't win
when you wait the dice
and play your hands that way
I can't win,
when you're playing your games
baby, baby come on

I know sorry doesn't cut it so I'm not
I know there's no 'buts' but you've got
Tricks up your sleeve
From your socks,
To your legs
From your dress
to your knees
to your

Eyes can't win,
when you're playing your games
I can't win
when you wait the dice
and play your hands that way
I can't win,
when you're playing your games
baby, baby come on
