Lyrics
The lyrics most commonly agreed upon are:
And now I know, It's just a game
I don't need the rules to play
Maybe It's happy, maybe It's sad
But you can't choose the way to play
And now I know, It's just a game
I don't need the rules to play
Maybe It's happy, maybe It's sad
But you can't choose the way to play
