Love's a Hard Game to Play

Wake up my sweet child Something I've got to say to you tonight That it's time you took a look inside 'Cause there's so much more to me than meets the eye Well, there's more to love than makin' time The harder you look, the more you'll find It's never easy, no matter what they say Love's a hard game to play The heart's the price you pay Love's a hard game to play No matter what they say Win or lose, no matter what they say Love's a hard game to play Problem here is not my fear Trouble is you can't convince yourself (you can't convince yourself) For tonight, let's lose the past Make love last, put our worries on the shelf We've been through thick and thin, and back again We can endure love's sweet pain Well remember, starting the fire is easy The hardest part is learning how to keep the flame Love's like walking a real fine line You get too close, you'll go blind Let go too long, it will all drift away Love's a hard game to play The heart's the price you pay Love's a hard game to play No matter what they say So win or lose, no matter what to say Just when I feel like I'm losin' you I hear those voices call They say it's better to have lost at love Than never to have loved at all Lose or win, stand or fall Stand tall Well, there's more to love than makin' time The harder you look, the more you'll find It's never easy, no matter what they say Love's a hard game to play, baby Love's a hard game to play The heart's the price you pay Love's a hard game to play Don't you know that, no matter what they say Love's a hard game to play The heart's the price you pay Love's a hard game to play No matter what they say 'Cause win or lose, no matter what they say But love's a hard game to play Hard game, hard game to play
