Red rover, red rover send somebody over that can break through the grip of my hand
For I’ve been holding on too tight for too long to a stranger who is stronger than I am
I’ll give you a long run and give you a steep hill, run as fast as you can
The stranger and me are clenching our teeth and have no intention of letting you win
Who made this game up?
Where is the rule book?
I’m not so sure I understand
I think I’m winning
It’s getting boring
And no one wants to play with me in the end
Ready or not here I come she says as she comes looking for me
But I’ve hidden so well and I’ll never give up and soon she’ll get bored and just leave
That’s okay I don’t need you to play there are plenty more fish in the sea
But as I get older the fish are getting wiser and seldom bite the bait that I’m using
Who made this game up?
Where is the rule book?
I’m not sure I understand
I think I’m winning
It’s getting boring
And no one wants to play with me again
