Lyrics[]
SOPHIE 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
Your smile and the sound of your voice/And the way you see through me/Got a feeling, you give me no choice/And it means a lot to 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 curious 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/What's the name of the game
BILL I'll talk to your mother tonight
SOPHIE Does it mean anything to you?
BILL Gotta trust me, I'm doing what's right/And it means a lot
SOPHIE What's the name of the game?
BILL Your smile and the sound of your voice
SOPHIE Can you feel it the way I do?/Tell me, please/'Cause I have to know/I'm a curious 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
BILL I'll talk to your mother today
SOPHIE Does it mean anything to you?
BILL Just give me an hour, Ok? And it means a lot
SOPHIE What's the name of the game? Do you feel the way I do? I wanna know/Oh yes, I wanna know/What's the name of the game?
