Hide-Go-Seek

Everytime we play
You're too hard to find
Why do I have to look for you first?
I get tired of counting to a hundred everytime

Ninety-nine, one hundred
I turn around and you're gone
You have good hiding spots
One time I even tried to call your cell phone

I get frustrated sometimes
But I know I can't quit
I look for you so long
Sometimes I have to sit

I looked behind those bushes
I even peeked around that building
Let's see if you're in that tree
Nope, there's some place I am missing

I think I got it
Let me look in that manhole
No, you can't be in there
You don't like places that are dark and cold

Where could you be hiding?
I've been looking for you for so long
Love, I quit, I'm tired
If you want me I'll be at home
