I'd say it was the right time
To walk away
When dreaming takes you nowhere
It's time to play
 
Bodies working overtime
Your money don't matter
The time keeps ticking
When someone's on your mind
On your mind
 
I'm moving in slow motion
Feels so good
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knockin' on wood
 
Bodies working overtime
It's man against man
And all that ever matters is, baby
Who's ahead in the game
Funny but it's always the same
 
Playing, playing with the boys
Staying, playing with the boys
After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playing with the boys
 
Said it was the wrong thing
For me to do
I said it's just a boys' game
But girls play too
 
My heart is working overtime
In this kind of game
People get hurt
I'm thinking that the people is me
If you wanna find me I'll be
 
Playing, playing with the boys
Staying, playing with the boys
After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
 
Playing, playing with the boys
Staying, playing with the boys
After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playing with the boys

Trivia[]

  • This is a cover of Kenny Loggins' original song "Playing with the Boys", which was released in 1986 and is featured on the popular film Top Gun.
  • This is the first artwork, whether it be for a single or an album, to not have any sort of Monstercat insignia or logo.
  • This song alongside Julian Calor's Monster and the rest of his No Fear Anymore EP were released on the same day (this song was not released on an official Monstercat YouTube channel). Making this the first time two different artists released a project on the same day on Monstercat.
  • This is the first and only single to be directly released onto the Rocket League Radical Summer album.
    • This is also the first release to have the MCRLS catalog number.
  • The sticker on the top right hand corner of the artwork says "This item can only be returned unopened and with a receipt. SAVE YOUR RECEIPT". This probably means that the artwork is the cover of a CD, which were popular in the 1980's, around when the original song by Kenny Loggins' was released.
