Summer child and Wendy
I ain't seen for a while
Since she's been working
Trying to catch her own style
With that I got her back
My kettle's always boiling
Snow is falling
And it's truly freezing
Danny ain't been calling
He's got a family
But outside my door
Still says, "Welcome on the floor"
Life is just a big ole game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me, baby
Pick me up, baby-girl
(Baby)
'Cause one day someone will
(Oh, baby, ah, ha, ha, yeah)
Snatch me for their lady
The buds in their blooms now
But no letters come from Lucy
She's deep in her book
Trying to bring down the words
But she's on my mind profusely
My sister, Lucy
The birds and the bees, yeah
They do their thing in trees
While we're hustling, bustling
Playing the game of life
We're looking in the dark light
For the answers to the questions, like
Life is just a big ole game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me, baby
Make me your baby-girl
(Baby)
'Cause one day someone will
(Baby, ah, ha, ha, yeah)
Snatch me for their lady, watch me now
I can never be your number two, yeah
('Cause when you're not there)
When you're not there
(I'm sure someone's loving you)
Someone's loving you
And I can't have it, uh
I won't have it now
'Cause one day someone will
Snatch me for their lady
(Ah, ha, ha, yeah)
You know, sometimes
See, I find myself confused
It's always, "Why this?"
And, uh, uh, "Why that?"
See, have you ever heard the saying
'It's just a game'?
Well, then one more, "Why?"
(Ah, ha, ha, yeah)
Why can't I start playing?
Life is just a big ole game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me, baby, baby, baby
Ah, ha, ha, yeah
I could never be your number two
'Cause when I'm not there
I'm sure someone' loving you
And I can't have it, I won't have it
Ah, ha, ha, yeah
Life is just a big old game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me, baby, baby, baby, oh yeah
Ah, ha, ha, yeah
I can never be your, your number two
'Cause someone else
Will come and start loving you
And I can't have it, I told you I won't have it, no
Oh, life is just a big old game to me
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
