I'm out of the game I've been out for a long time now I'm lookin' for something Can't be found on the main drag, no I'm out of the game I've been out for a long time now I'm looking for something Can't be found on the main drag, no Look at you, look at you, look at you Look at you, suckers Does your mama know what you're doin'?

Look at you, look at you, look at you Look at you, suckers Does your mama know what you're doin'? You're only a child With the mind of a senile man You're only a young thing 'Bout to sleep with a sea of men Just hangin' around Wearin' somethin' from God knows where Just havin' a ball Makin' all of the thin cards fall Look at you, look at you, look at you Look at you, suckers Does your mama know what you're doin'? Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Say, come over here Let me smell you for one last time Before you go out there out there And ruin all of the world, once mine I'm out of the game I've been out for a long time now I'm lookin' for something That can't be found on the main drag, no Look at you, look at you, look at you Look at you, suckers Does your mama know what you're doin'?

Edit Lyrics. Lyrics powered by LyricFind. Out of the Game song meanings. Add Your Thoughts 6 Comments. My Interpretation This song reminds me of the saying 'Youth is wasted on the young.

Their carelessness. There was an error. I'm no native English speaker and I have no idea what "making all of the thin cards fall" means. Is it a common phrase? Earthling on Fire on December 19, General Comment My interpretation is different from Dollymay's.

This narrator is looking around at young people living the promiscuous lifestyle he once had It's a bittersweet celebration, but ultimately triumphant.

I like the way his tone changes when he sings "suckers! He starts out saying - look at you, look at you - as if impressed, but then he turns around and laughs, Suckers! Does your mother know what you're doing?

They're just kids, they don't have what he has. Sometimes he still misses the games he used to play, and wants a whiff of the old life - 'come here and let me smell you', he says, to this youth about to play his old game. They're just beginning their sexual age, still seeking the attention of the world, about to sleep with seas of men for attention and experience.
