Lyrics

 I see that nothing's changed
 Insist on playin' games
 Some waste of time you are
 And you're so popular
 Well this is it you bitch
 I got to make my switch
 You find some other john
 I know what's goin' on
 
     Your move
     What do I have to lose
     Stalemate
     Too late, too late
 
 I thought you was for real
 But you're a rip-off deal
 Don't give me all that crap
 I just escaped your trap
 You think you see the joke
 But you're just chasin' smoke
 'Cause now the thrill is gone
 I know what's goin' on
 
     Your move
     What do I have to lose
     Stalemate
     Too late, too late
 
 Misunderstanding me
 The way you felt so free
 I'm gonna jump the gun
 I'm gonna hit and run
 Your credibility
 Don't cut no ice with me
 I know the thrill is gone
 I know what's goin' on
 
     Your move
     What do I have to lose
     Stalemate
     Too late, too late
