No one believes me
Someone conceived me
A fluke in the night of obscurity
Played by millions simulcast by a few
A city no lights such a great view
It's all very strange it's the name of the game
(chorus 1)
It's all the same it's never gonna change
It's the name of the game
Over and over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over again
Love is the name of the game
Come around and see me analyze or analogy
I'll give you a clue what you really need
If things get bad then things can get worse
Remember "surrender" remember the verse
It's all very strange it's the name of the game
It's all the same it's never gonna change
It's the name of the game
Over and over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over again
Love is the name of the game
I say hold on tight
Say hey you're doin' it right
As i wish for a full dream flight
Night after night i'm a knight
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over and over
Love is the name of the game
And then it came to me
It's just a game to me
Love is the name of the game
