Music by Elton John Timothy Why are you following me Why don't you take a few chances while you got time on your side Timothy How can I make you see Somebody's got all the answers but it sure ain't me You know that love's a game And I played it once or twice Oh you're asking for advice That I can't give you 'Cause it just don't feel the same If you haven't paid the price It's something that you're just gonna Have to live through Timothy Why are you following me Timothy I'm not the person to tell you What you should do with your life Timothy The joke's on me You got yourself more to handle Than I will ever be You know that love's a game You can guarantee to win Love has always been a game of learning 'Cause it just don't feel the same When you're outside looking in And it's still the same old question keeps returning Timothy Why are you following me Well you know that love's a game You play the best you can It's hard to understand Though we keep trying 'Cause it just don't feel the same When you lose the master plan I sometimes have to laugh
