Love's a Hard Game to Play

Wake up my sweet child
 Something I've got to say to you tonight
 That it's time you took a look inside
 'Cause there's so much more to me than meets the eye
 Well, there's more to love than makin' time
 The harder you look, the more you'll find
 It's never easy, no matter what they say
 Love's a hard game to play
 The heart's the price you pay
 Love's a hard game to play
 No matter what they say
 Win or lose, no matter what they say
 Love's a hard game to play
 Problem here is not my fear
 Trouble is you can't convince yourself (you can't convince yourself)
 For tonight, let's lose the past
 Make love last, put our worries on the shelf
 We've been through thick and thin, and back again
 We can endure love's sweet pain
 Well remember, starting the fire is easy
 The hardest part is learning how to keep the flame
 Love's like walking a real fine line
 You get too close, you'll go blind
 Let go too long, it will all drift away
 Love's a hard game to play
 The heart's the price you pay
 Love's a hard game to play
 No matter what they say
 So win or lose, no matter what to say
 Just when I feel like I'm losin' you
 I hear those voices call
 They say it's better to have lost at love
 Than never to have loved at all
 Lose or win, stand or fall
 Stand tall
 ♪
 Well, there's more to love than makin' time
 The harder you look, the more you'll find
 It's never easy, no matter what they say
 Love's a hard game to play, baby
 Love's a hard game to play
 The heart's the price you pay
 Love's a hard game to play
 Don't you know that, no matter what they say
 Love's a hard game to play
 The heart's the price you pay
 Love's a hard game to play
 No matter what they say
 'Cause win or lose, no matter what they say
 But love's a hard game to play
 Hard game, hard game to play
