The Game of Love

Sometimes it's a blessing, and sometimes it's a curse And you don't know if being in or out of it is worse Sometimes there's too little, sometimes there's too much And it can come alive or die away with just a touch Still, we try to keep that flame of hope alight 'Cause it's the only thing that makes sense about lives The game of love, we play to win When our hearts come tumbling down, we try to pick them up again Each time we fall, it hurts so much It's hard to remember it's the playing, not the winning In the game of love Sometimes it'll fool you into thinkin' it's here to stay Sometimes it'll rule your heart, then turn and walk away Like an angel on your shoulder, it can give you wings to fly Or send you crashing to the ground without a reason why Still, in every heart a candle's burning bright To help us find our way together through the long and lonely nights The game of love, we play to win When our hearts come tumbling down, we try to pick them up again Each time we fall, it hurts so much It's hard to remember it's the givin', not the taking In the game of love And you and me, we got a chance to have it all Will love fade our goal? The future's not ours to know Oh, each time we fall, it hurts so much It's hard to remember it's the playin' not the winning In the game of love Ooh-hoo, the game of love Ooh, the game of love
