Big 'Ol Game (featuring 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
