THE NAME OF THE GAME
(Benny Andersson / Björn Ulvaeus / Stig Anderson)

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
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
and 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
