Lyrics: Joss Stone. Colour Me Free. Big 'Ol Game.



Summertime
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
The kettle's always boiling
Snows a 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 old game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby, baby
Make me your baby girl
One day someone will snatch me for their lady

The buds in their blooms now
But no letters come from Lucy
She's deep in a book
Trying to bring down the crooks
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 a dark cloud for the answers
To the question why

Life is just a big old game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby, baby
Make me your baby girl
One day someone will snatch me for their lady
I could never be your number two
'Cuz when you're not there
I'm sure someone's loving you
And I can't have it
I won't have it
Maybe one day someone will snatch me for their lady

You know sometimes
I find myself confused
It's always why this and why that
See have you ever heard the saying
It's just a game
Then one more why
Why can't I stop playing?

Life is just a big old game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me baby, baby
Make me your baby girl
One day someone will snatch me for their lady
I could never be your number two
'Cuz when you're not there
I'm sure someone's loving you
And I can't have it, oh no
I won't have it, oh no

Life is just a big ol' game to me
Is a big ol' game, yeah, yeah
I'd like to be number one on your team
Uh, come on, on your team
Baby, baby, baby
Uh ooh, uh ooh, uh ooh

I can never be your
Your number two
'Cause someone else
Will come, yeah
And start loving you
And I can't have it
I told you I wont have it, now

Ooh
Life is just a big ol' game to me
Hmm hmm
Hmm
