Name of the Game Songtext
von A.J. Croce

Well I never been inclined to be
The kind to turn and run you see
And I heard a lot of people say
That "Trouble" should have been my name

But I was just a born believer
Getting things to go my way
Baby losin′ ain't the name of the game I play

Yeah I learned some lessons early
And I learned some lessons hard
But I kept my eyes wide open all along the way

And I remember them that′s helped me
And them that's done me wrong
Mother losin' ain′t the name of the game I play


′Cause I had me some good times, bad times
Times behind the wall times
But it never worried me at all
'Cause I could always see

That I was just a born believer
Getting things to go my way
Losin′ ain't the name of the game I play

′Cause I had me some good times bad times
Times behind the wall times
But it never worried me at all
'Cause I could always see

That I was just a born believer
Getting things to go my way
Losin′ ain't the name of the game I play
Oh no, no, no, I said
Losin' ain′t the name of the game I play
