Now the game of love is played in the dark
The stakes are high, maybe your heart
Only two can play, more spoils the game
And if you play it right, you may change a name.
Oh, the game of love, is so hard to win
Cause the deck is stacked, before you're dealt in.
Your futures at stake, along with your fate
Cause solid gold looks just like gold plate.
All the cards are dealt by old Lady Luck
And you must play by the rules in her book.
There are no good lies to cover the truth.
Hearts are won and lost in every booth.
Oh, the game of love, is so hard to win
Cause the deck is stacked, before you're dealt in.
Your futures at stake, along with your fate
Cause solid gold looks just like gold plate.
You can play the game with all of your heart
And be doing great right from the start.
Until one night if the cards aren't right
Then you'll be left fighting lonely nights.
Oh, the game of love, is so hard to win
Cause the deck is stacked, before you're dealt in.
Your futures at stake along with your fate
Cause solid gold looks just like gold plate.
