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 ignores her

It's the 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 The way 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 friendsHe 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 they didn't tell him who's to blame

‘Cause it's the game, game, game, of love, love, love Just when you think you get one step above You get sucked into the water And just when he thinks he's caught her With his thought out jokes, his sideswept 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 The way 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
