Players

He's a restless kind of spirit Does most things on his own A dreamer and a poet and Picasso with a song But every night 'round midnight when he hears a distant train He wonders why somebody don't just call him and explain He's filled with good intentions, does everything right But he's just a lonely player in the waiting game tonight She's pretty as a picture, and just turned 29 Six years out of college where she learned to walk the line She prays like an angel for someone to come along But she cusses like a devil when she's waitin' by the phone Cause nobody ever calls her, and she knows it ain't right And she's just a lonely player in the waiting game tonight Just when you least expect it It'll hit you in the eyes So when a love finally comes around you shouldn't be surprised Cause all the time you're waiting For your love to come true Somebody out there in the world is waiting just for you Just when you least expect it It'll hit you in the eyes So when a love finally comes around you shouldn't be surprised Cause all the time you're waiting For your love to come true Somebody out there in the world is waiting just for you Tonight they'll sleep alone in different beds in different towns She'll dream about her prince, he'll just say "send in the clown" "Cause this life of mine's a circus, and I'm a broken hearted fool" And in the mornin' they'll both miss someone they never really knew And someday they may figure out the mysteries of life But they're just two lonely players in the waiting game tonight Ain't nobody wrong Ain't nobody right Ooh Ain't nobody wrong Ain't nobody right Ain't nobody wrong Ain't nobody right In the waiting game tonight
