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.
