Someone gets the house
Someone gets the car
Someone gets the shaft
And winds up in the past

Someone gets the stereo
Someone gets the pool
Someone is?
Feeling like a fool

This is a game
That must be played
Whenever two people
Go their separate ways

They play a little take away
Splitting up the life they made
They play a little take away
It doesn't matter what you say

She's calling her attorney
She wants to take their son
He's calling up his buddies
He wants to have some fun

She wants make it even
Wants to keep him away
He wants to get it over
He doesn't really wanna stay

This is a game
That must be played
Whenever two people
Go their separate ways

They play a little take away
Just give it up and don't go back
Cause all it is take away
You gimme this and I'll take that

This is a game
That must be played
Whenever two people
Go their separate ways

They play a little take away
Splitting up the life they made
They play a little take away
It doesn't matter what you say

It's just a little take away
Just give it up and don't go back
Cause all it is take away
You gimme this and I'll take that

They play a little take away
