THE GAME OF LOVE.

Yes there`s a lot of pain when a love-affair ends

Caught short in a missile strike when we don`t have up a defence

But what`s the point in crying over what`s in the past

Once bitten twice shy ain`t the rule cause the pain won`t always last.

The game of love is cruel

You think you`re smart but you find you`re the fool

Cause you forgot the golden rule

It`s tough playing the game of love.

The game of love is true

It`s for me but it`s also for you

So whatever else you might do

Play fair in the game of love.

So you`ve been burned and you say it won`t happen again

You close your eyes to love cause you are scared of the pain

But what`s the use you`ll just get smacked in the face

You can`t stick your head in the ground or reach for outer-space.

You`ve got too many questions for answers that don`t exist

There are no solutions written down on some secret list

You`ve got the choice either wollow with your wounded pride

Or realise that there`s no use in searching for somewhere to hide.

Yes you`ve been badly burned but you have to come bouncing back

You say that you`ve had enough but your heart ain`t about to crack

Open up your eyes and reach out for what is real

If you give yourself a bit of space you`ll maybe stand a chance to feel.

The game of love brings pain

If you think you can play it the same

You`ll so swiftly find yet again

It`s tough playing the game of love.

The game of love is bright

If you only could see the light

Then you`d find your heart being held real tight

Playing fair in the game of love.
