🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Quit playin' games with my heart
  • (Quit playin' games with my heart) With my heart
  • (Before you tear us apart) My heart
  • Quit playin' games with my heart

Echo the hook

  • Na, na, na, na, na, na
  • Na, na, na, na, na, baby
  • Na, na, na, na, na
  • Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
