Big 'Ol Game (featuring Raphael Saadiq) - Joss Stone, Raphael Saadiq

Summertime and Wendy

I ain’t seen for a while

Since she’s been workin', tryin' to catch her own style

With that I got her back

My kettle’s always boilin', snow is fallin'

Hmmm, and it’s truly freezy

Danny ain’t been callin'

He’s got a family

But outside my door, it still says:

«Welcome» on the floor

Life is just a big ol' game to me

I’d like to be number one on your team

Call me baby (Baby!)

Pick me up, baby girl (Baby!)

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 her book

Trying to bring down the words

But she’s on my mind profusely, my sister Lucy

The birds and bees, they do their thing in trees

While we’re hustlin', bustlin', playing the game of life

We’re lookin' in a dark cloud for the answer of all the questions why

Life is just a big ol' game to me

I’d like to be number one on your team

Call me baby (Baby!)

Pick me up baby.

(Baby!)

One day someone will snatch me for their lady, (watch me now)

I could never be your number two

Cause when you’re not there

I’m sure someone is loving you

And I can’t have it

I won’t have it now

One day someone will snatch me for their lady

You know, sometimes

See, I find myself confused

It’s always «why this?»

and «why that?»

See, have you ever heard the saying «it's just a game»?

Well, then one more why

Why can’t I start playing?

Life is just a big ol' game to me

I’d like to be number one on your team

Call me baby (Baby!)

(Baby!) Baby

Cause I could never be you number two, yeah

Cause when I’m not there

I’m sure someone’s loving you

And I can’t have it

I won’t have it

Life is just a big ol' game to me

I’d like to be number one on your team

Call me baby (Baby!)

(Baby!) Baby

I could never be your

Your number two

Cause someone else will come and start loving you

And I can’t have it

I told I won’t have it, now

Oh, life is just a big old game to me
