Love is just a game that everybody plays And when the game is over not everybody pays Some play the game to lose, some play the game to win The winners walk out laughing, the losers cry, deal again Lately you and I have played the game Now there's no feeling left except for the pain Finally comes the time to fall apart And I fine that I am in way over my heart Oh you've been holding on to holding on But we can't leave not well enough alone any longer We're not making love, we're keeping score It's a simple matter, it don't matter anymore 'Cause love is just a game that everybody plays And when the game is over not everybody pays Some play the game to lose some play the game to win The winners walk out laughing, the losers cry, deal again Deal again Deal again Deal again Deal again
