The Game of Love

Well, there was a boy lonely and hungry to fall in love,
And there was a girl innocent and seeking love,
They met in class that summer day,
Their eyes locked,

And they anted up to play the game they called love,
They spent the next two weeks together,
And I must have been crazy to expect you to live next door,
But, I guess that's what I expected,
'Cause it came as quite a shock when I found out you lived downstate,
So here I sit upstate just thinking of you,
And for awhile everything was great,

And I think the man who said, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder.",
Outta be drug out in the street and shot,
'Cause I've laid down all my cards on the table,
I've bet everything I got,
I've lost it all,
And that's the game of love,
And that's how it's played,
Now you folded your hand,
And our love is gone,

But, I'm still playing the game,
Tellin' the Dealer to deal me a new hand,
And He tells me to look at the one I already have,
I guess I'm going to have to realize our loves gone cold,
I'll have to suck in my pride and fold,
Before I lose what little I have left,
And that's the game of love,
And that's how it's played,

Sometimes it ain't pretty,
And sometimes you're gonna lose,
But, every game has it bad hands,
So, when you get a good hand play it for all it's worth,

And when the bad hand rolls around,
Suck in your pride and fold before you lose it all,
I just wish the game of love was that easy,
And that's the game of love,
And that's how it's played,

So I'm folding one last time,
I lost it all again,
Your love was the greatest,

And I think the man the who said, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder.",
Outta be drug out in the street and shot,
'Cause I laid down all my cards on the table,
I've bet everything I got,
I've lost it all,
And that's the game of love,
And that's how it's played,

Now you've folded your hand,
And our love is gone,
And that's the game of love,
And that's how it's played,

Yes, I'm going for broke,
'Cause if I fold now I lose it all,
And that's the game of love,
