You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you?
Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's
Living high above you?
It's time for you and me to play

Come on give yourself away
Don't care what you say
It's time for you and me to play

Bouncing like a ball
Bouncing like a ball
These games we play are not worth anything at all unless we're
Bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I can talk to but never feel quite at home
And after half an hour realize that I would rather be on my own
I'm tired of playing hide and seek
Knock me off my feet
I never could see why the games we play were worth it anyway

Bouncing like a ball
Bouncing like a ball
These games we play are not worth anything at all unless we're
Bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I can talk to but never feel quite at home
And after half an hour realize that I would rather be on my own
I'm tired of playing hide and seek
Knock me off my feet
I never could see why the games we play were worth it anyway

You're wasting your time with useless resistance
I'm wasting mine by keeping my distance
But none of these games would be worth anything at all
If you and I were really bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you
Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's
Living high above you

Bouncing like a ball
Bouncing like a ball
These games we play are not worth anything at all unless we're
Bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I can talk to but never feel quite at home
And after half an hour realize that I would rather be on my own
I'm tired of playing hide and seek
Knock me off my feet
I never could see why the games we play were worth it anyway

Bouncing like a ball
Bouncing like a ball
These games we play are not worth anything at all unless we're
Bouncing like a ball
You're the kind of person I can talk to but never feel quite at home
And after half an hour realize that I would rather be on my own
I'm tired of playing hide and seek
Knock me off my feet
I never could see why the games we play were worth it anyway
