Game Of Love

It’s a crowded room

It’s a busy party

She looks great in red

He steels himself

And he regrets not wearing

Sunday’s best instead

But he plays it cool

And he wins her over

With his charm

And she is sure

That by the next month

She will be on his arm

She’s a little too sure

She don’t know what to do when he adores her

It’s a game, game, game, of love, love, love

Just when you think you get one step above

You get kicked right to the bottom

And just when you think you’ve caught him

With your sarcasm, the way you dress

Or where you act like you could not care less

You get surprised when he don’t call you

But surprise should not befall you

Because you’re just another player

In the game of love

He’s at a bar

He’s with his friends

He likes the waitress

He waves his hand

And says, “Excuse me,

can you please help me, miss?”

He gets her number

But he’s dumber

Than he thought

‘Cause he was so serious

And into it

But she’s not

It’s a crying shame

That his friends didn’t tell him of who’s to blame

‘Cause it’s a game, game, game, of love, love, love

Just when you think you get one step above

You get sunk into the water

Just when he thinks he’s caught her

With his thought-out jokes, his side-swept hair

The way he makes her think he really cares

He acts shocked when she don’t call him

But shock should not befall him

Because he’s just another player

In the game of love

And I’m a victim of it too

The time I thought I one-upped you

In the game, game, game, of love, love, love

Just when I thought I got one step above

I got kicked right to the bottom

And just when I thought I caught him

With my sarcasm, the way I dress

Or where I act like I could not care less

I got surprised when he didn’t call me

But surprise should not befall me

Because I’m just another player

In the game of love
