Don't you mean I was lost
Don't you think you're alone
You don't have to explain it's not the same
Nobody knows the name of the game

Don't you mean I was lost
Don't you think you're alone

Chorus
You don't have to explain
You're just the same
Nobody knows the name of the game

Don't you mean I'm lonely
Don't you think you're alone
Stray dogs, lost cause, phonies
Holding onto your own

You don't have to explain
You're just the same
Nobody knows the name of the game

Come on, rave on
Your partner can dance
You know I know you know
You ought to jump at the chance
I don't need to explain
It's not all the same
Nobody knows the name of the game
