Cher - The Name Of The Game Lyrics






I've seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I'm getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There's a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know...

What's the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me, please
'Cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child willing to grow...

And you make me talk (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
And you make me feel (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
And you make me show (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (Doo-doo, doo-doo)

If I trust in you (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (Ah, ah)

Could you feel the same way too, I wanna know
What's the name of the game?

I have no friends, no one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know...

What's the name of the game? (Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Does it mean anything to you? (Got a feeling you give me no choice, but it means a lot)
What's the name of the game? (Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do?

Tell me, please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a bashful child willing to grow...

And you make me talk (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
And you make me feel (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
And you make me show (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
What I'm trying to conceal (Doo-doo, doo-doo)

If I trust in you (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Would you let me down? (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
Would you laugh at me (Doo-doo, doo-doo)
If I said I care for you? (Ah, ah)

Could you feel the same way too, I wanna know
Oh, yes, I wanna know

The name of the game! (I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you? (But I think I can see in your face that it means a lot)
What's the name of the game? (Your smile and the sound of your voice)
Can you feel it the way I do? (Got a feeling you give me no choice, but it means a lot)

What's the name of the game? (I was an impossible case)
Does it mean anything to you? (But I think I can see in your face that it means a lot)
What's the name of the game?
What's the name of the game?

Cher The Name Of The Game Comments
  1. U.... s....

    The Best song cher

  2. N.... O....

    I was apprehensive at first to listen to her newer albums as I'm not a huge fan of the autotune, but damn is this good!

  3. D.... S....

    I enjoy both the original Abba album and Cher's rendition.

  4. B.... ....

    3:57
    over and over

  5. E.... R....

    (30.August.2019)

  6. s.... d....

    I'm so confused right now as I want to watch the original ABBA video and this one at the same time cause I'm loving them equally!

  7. J.... C....

    The first second, I thought it was "Hey, Mickey"

  8. M.... B....

    what a legend....kids come here and have no idea who she is and then start looking for her story....I love you cher.... <3

  9. D.... M....

    I LOVE CHER

  10. T.... �....

    Eveey song on this album should be hit. This generation has no taste in music.

  11. r.... a....

    SALUTE !!

  12. L.... i....

    I got tickets to see this queen im sooooo happy😆👑

    L.... i....

  13. U.... s....

    Excelente canción muy buena y expectacular álbum de cher

    Beautifully played and sang. Well done!

  19. r.... ....

    The Canadian and the American flag together. Nice. I am Canadian. WE LOVE YOU AMERICANS. HUGS

  20. L.... M....

    Difficile de passer derrière Frida et Agnetha et pourtant le résultat est bluffant. Jolies versions magnifiées par la voix inimitable de Cher, Bravo le résultat est magnifique et ces arrangements proches des originaux en plus moderne c'est que du bonheur et ça nous transporte loin en arrière tout en nous laissant un pied au 21 éme siècle.

  21. P.... R....

    Pretty decent one, really, maybe because I honestly did not know this Abba song... Or I heard it but not so often :)

  22. J.... M....

    Want.to.meet.this.legend.cher.i.am.big.fan.for.long.time.now.please.make.this.happen..juile

  30. J.... M....

    She.one.only.cher.

  31. S.... K....

    I love this album

  32. S.... L....

    Sonny & Cher did a lot of albums with cover songs and Cher did so many on their show and her own variety show in the 1970's. She did those well while also enjoying a string of her own chart topping hits, including several #1 hits. I grew up to her on TV.

  33. N.... S....

    Cher does it again. ❤ Cher

  34. R.... R....

    I'm always glued to YouTube and Twitter waiting for Cher to release something 😍😘

  35. S.... K....

    I loved both mamma Mia movies

  36. S.... K....

    I love this song

  37. C.... R....

    omg, I just found out that my mum is buying me tickets for my 18th BIRTHDAY like I CANNOT I AM SO FREEKING EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)

  38. G.... G....

    Unica cher me encanta y que voz !!

    Love Abba, but wow🙋 Cher is totally Awesome in this song, the whole album is Amazing ❤ Love it. Thanks 🎶✌

  40. M.... L....

    OMG, im obsessed for this song! Cher you slay mamma!
    The bridge is amazing!

    M.... L....

    Cher slayed Mamma Mia Here We Go Again so fricking good!

  41. R.... M....

    Still the ABBA original knows its way to the heart.

  42. M.... G....

    No sé ustedes... Pero creo que debieron poner Super Trouper en lugar de esta canción... Siento que esta canción es más relleno...

  43. S.... O....

    ARMENIA♥️CHER

  44. e.... ....

    Cher insured that her and Abba will be remembered for the next 200 years!!!

    e.... ....

    Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia Here We Go Again did too.

  45. M.... P....

    She sounds like Sophie-wow!!.

  46. M.... P....

    Young Donna sings it in the sequel and Sophie did it in the original film that was cut out-so grandma Ruby sings the song her granddaughter sang.

  47. J.... W....

    🇧🇷 LOVES YOU ! Thank you , THANK YOU !! we grateful for this masterpiece ❤️

  48. m.... ....

    I love that she does the 2nd verse that does not appear on some ABBA mixes.

  49. J.... C....

    Cher is definitely number one!!! Love her and Abba ❤️

  50. G.... W....

    I it is good

  51. L.... ....

    Ok..so it's bloody perfect...lol..legend doing legends.. It's kinda expected. Soooo so THRILLED about this... Wow..Just WOW!!

  52. K.... S....

    I wish there would be "Souper trouper" so much

    K.... S....

    Karolina Sroka I wish it would have been a target bonus’ track and money money

  53. R.... ....

    Cher I love you but leave ABBA songs alone, this is terrible cover!

  54. K.... J....

    this is gold literally like i love this

  55. S.... N....

    why is this so underrated? it's one of the best song of the album.

    S.... N....

    It's my favourite song on the album! People are probably drawn to the best-known Abba songs.

  56. J.... L....

    ABBA-tastic! 🙌

  57. T.... B....

    Cher can sing Anything! And make it her own! ;) <3

  58. E.... S....

    i’m so confused by everyone saying stuff about gays, nothing against of course i’m fully supportive but i thought cher was straight as she had many male partners. someone explain please.

    E.... S....

    Cher is not gay but she is a gay icon nonetheless. Abba also happens to be popular in the gay community.
    So people are being funny and saying that this is a super gay album. XD

    E.... S....

    oh haha thanks

    E.... S....

    I'm bi, but the Mamma Mia movies just mean happiness and having fun.

  59. M.... ....

    Oh my god Cher😭 you are break my heart thank you😭 it's so perfect fuck😭❤

  60. d.... ....

    WOW....have never heard her sing this high...and no struggle...most people's voices arent stronger as they age...well Ms. Cher's is. Loving this.

    d.... ....

    Never heard her sing this high? Check this one out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l-yQR5srts

    d.... ....

    I saw her not long ago on some show when she said her doctor said her lungs are like that of a person in their 20's

  61. S.... A....

    Hola! Una Voz increíble!!!! Como siempre!!! Muy buenos los Temas de Abba!!!! Cantados por Cher. Cariñoss desde Argentina.

  62. E.... G....

    BEST SONG OF THE ALBUM❣️

  63. J.... Y....

    Love you so much @cher 💙 💙

  64. N.... 8....

    My favorite on the album....what an amazing track! 😍😍😍

    N.... 8....

    My FAV is ONE OF US!

  65. C.... B....

    i love you come to brazil

  66. C.... G....

    RIP repeat button 😁❤🎶

  67. R.... G....

    This surprised me. I've been a huge fan me entire life but this version is blowing me away!

  68. p.... ....

    I love that this song has some sensuality that later evolves into a cute pop-ish summer camp kinda song in the chorus. Like, how is it possible that Cher makes you feel all kinds of sexy putting that 70's retro porn tone of voice during the "I have no friends, no one to see and I'm never invited" part when its literally a sad af statement??? lmao

  69. D.... S....

    Love the entire album, but this one is my favorite. So amazing!!

  70. O.... ....

    I love the ABBA originals but this is really growing in me! CHER please...release this as a single and with a decent video! What an excellent cover version...probably the best I've listened to in years!...

    O.... ....

    We have ABBA, Amanda Seyfried, and Lily James versions and now we have Cher's.

  71. S.... f....

    Its like his confession on a Dancefloor

  72. R.... H....

    God this is good!

  73. T.... R....

    Minha favorita desse álbum! <3

  74. b.... ....

    👎🏻

  75. T.... L....

    There are others that try and then there is Cher = she does it without effort.

  76. S.... N....

    Love the sprangly guitar.

    S.... N....

    Me too omg

  77. B.... ....

    Good that Cher has used the original 1977 lyrics, the changes made to the Mamma Mia versión sung by the cast were not to my liking. Respect to Cher for using the original lyrics.

    B.... ....

    Diego Lopez she sings Abba not Mamma Mia

    B.... ....

    alexe. If you have seen Mamma Mia 2 The Name Of The Game is sung. Not by Cher. In MM2 a different lyric was used. I am just saying that I am pleased Cher used the original ABBA lyric.

    B.... ....

    Diego Lopez I have seen Mamma Mia 2. I know it was recorded for both movies, sung by Amanda Seyfried and Lily James. but since it’s an ABBA cover album, of course Cher was gonna sing the original lyrics

    B.... ....

    Just in case you didn't know, Benny and Bjorn also wrote the new lyrics used in Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia 2

  78. Y.... K....

    An outstanding cover! Absolutely outstanding!

  79. G.... B....

    Great soothing.

  80. A.... R....

    Sounds fantastic. But at 1:21 and 3:18, what's normally the word "beginning" sounds sort of like "winning" (?). I wonder if that was intentional?

    A.... R....

    Anthony Rogers i think she sings “willing” instead of “beginning”

    A.... R....

    Thanks Alexe. I wonder why it was changed though.

  81. C.... L....

    so much love for Cher! 👄

  82. L.... i....

    In an alternate dimension, Cher was the lead vocal in ABBA. I love the originals but honestly her voice is passionate and really interprets these songs soooo perfectly.

    L.... i....

    That's what true talent is all about and Cher has got plenty of that...

    L.... i....

    That means, in an alternate dimension, Agnetha and Frieda sang all of Chers' songs. What an album that would be.

  83. S.... A....

    Remixers - get mixing...

  84. M.... P....

    So I wanna Know??? What’s The Name Of The Game???

    My Idol She’s better then ever!

  85. L.... A....

    Here are the LYRICS for the song
    https://youtu.be/cvAj5H1fF5c

  86. G.... S....

    This song is one of Benny s favorites...this rendition deserves universal acclaim....April, July, September...now patiently awaiting November.... 2018 has done to the millennials what 1979 did to generation X

  87. X.... G....

    I'm alive again

  88. T.... J....

    True legend living !

  89. 1.... ....

    Awful. "Mamma Mia" movie fans check out the original masterpieces.

    1.... ....

    123billydog it’s not awful. sure the original songs are better but this is still a nice cover

    1.... ....

    @alexe. These people are such fanatics they just can't recognize what a stellar cover version is anymore...I praise Cher for doing so...ABBA originals will live forever, but nowadays it's so RARE having great cover version albums and only someone with REAL talent like Cher could've done it brilliantly...I really hope this one is out as a SINGLE!

  90. I.... H....

    HOW THE FUCK THIS IS THE SONG OFF THE ALBUM PEOPLE LIKE THE LEAST? THE. LEAST.
    The AUDACITY

  91. C.... C....

    Shes the best....😍😍😍

  92. C.... ....

    Adictiva <3 de mis favoritas de todo el álbum.

  93. Z.... P....

    My favorite track on the whole album...her best singing and the best production of her voice. Smooth and not jarring.

  94. E.... M....

    I've just iintroduced to Cher (from mamma Mia 2, I'm only 14) so I don't know her old songs but I'm obsessed with the music I have heard. Mostly Abba song. I LOVE HER SO MUCH 💘

    E.... M....

    Elisa Molteni me too

    E.... M....

    Same Here But ive Been a fan since childhood

    E.... M....

    Let me tell you that you are so lucky to have discovered something truly breathtaking..! I’m only 17 myself, but my taste in music is very old fashioned (I myself prefer to call it timeless), so I can only imagine how amazing it must be to discover Cher for the first time!! Have fun..!

    E.... M....

    SAME!!! 👏😍

  95. V.... ....

    Absolutely fantastic !!!!!!
