Lyrics:

This fever's got me so uptight
I wish they'd reduce it to a four-day week instead of a five-day week
Tired of losing my money
Keep playing this game of life, I'm gonna lose my woman
It's a cold game, it's a dirty shame
Got to play it
But one thing's for sure, it always keeps me on the run
But the feeling just won't leave me alone
I'ma tell you a message about it
This particular game
I can't walk away
I play it every day
If I don't play it, somebody else gon' play it every day
(The game of life is just a lifestyle)
Where the payday is Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday
Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night
I get this feeling just to shoot the dice
But this feeling's got me so uptight
When I'm playing this game
The game of life
I've always tried to bring my paycheck home
But this feeling just won't leave me alone
I'm always on the run, I'm never home
When I'm playing this game
The game of life
People got to play the game of life
(It's okay) It's a cold, cold game
(I've got to keep on winning) What a dirty shame
Billy's got to play the game of life
(It's okay) Gotta win the game
(I've got to keep on winning) I can't walk away
When I'm playing this game
The game of life
Feeling lucky and I'm flying so high (Shoo-doo-doo, y'all, shoo-doo)
If I don't win, I think I'm gonna cry
I bet you ten, I'll make this three a five
When I'm playing this game
The game of life, the game of life
(The game of life is just my lifestyle
The
Game of life, the game of life) Game of life
(The game of life is just my lifestyle
The game
Of life, the game of life) The game of life
(The game of life is just my lifestyle) It's a cold, cold game
(The game of life)
People, don't you play that game of life
(It's okay) It's a cold, cold game
(I've got to keep on winning) What a dirty shame
Billy's got to play the game of life
(It's okay) Gotta win the game
(I've got to keep on winning) Can't walk away
(I got the fever) Billy's got to play the game of life
(It's okay) I can't leave it alone
(I've got to keep on winning) I got a no-go, y'all
Billy's got to play that game of life
(It's okay) Make a three a five
(I've got to keep on winning) I gotta stay alive
(I got the fever) Billy's got to play the game of life
(It's okay) Gotta shoot the dice
(I've got to keep on winning) Keeps me so uptight
