Deep on the West Side They play that music loud The type of beauty That stands out in a crowd Leaving you alone I've only got myself to blame But I can't hate the player Just for playing the game Just for playing the game In California they kill over a glance How could he know that He never stood a chance Leaving you alone I've only got myself to blame But I can't hate the player Just for playing the game Just for playing the game Just for playing the game Anybody would do the same Leaving you alone I've only got myself to blame, oh But I can't hate the player Just for playing the game Just for playing the game (Playing the game)
