Arrow A Spanish song, difficult to translate

How about an Spanish-English exercise?

You guys are always going from English to Spanish...Try the other way around, if you want. I love this song, but I find it hard to translate...

Tú juegas a quererme,
yo juego a que te creas que te quiero.
Buscando una coartada,
me das una pasión que yo no espero
y no me importa nada.

Tú juega a engañarme,
yo juego a que te creas que te creo,
eschucho tus bobadas
acerca del amor y del deseo
y no me importa nada, nada
que rías o sueñes
que digas o que hagas
y no me importa nada
por mucho que me empeñe
estoy jugando y no me importa nada.

Tú juegas a tenerme,
yo juego a que te creas que me tienes
serena y confiada
invento las palabras que te hieren,
y no me importa nada.

Tú juegas a olvidarme
yo juego a que te creas que me importa,
conozco la jugada
sé manejarme en las distancias cortas
y no me importa nada, nada
que rías o sueñes
que digas o que hagas
y no me importa nada...

PS: How do you display a youtube player?
