Love's a Hard Game to Play

Wake up my sweet child
There's something I've got to say to you tonight
And it's time you took a look at me
'Cause there's so much more to me than meets the eyeWell, 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 sayLove's a hard game to play
The heart's the price that you pay
Love's a hard game to play
No matter what they say
Win or lose, no matter what they say
Well love's a hard game to playThe problem here is not my fear
The trouble is you can't convince yourself
For tonight, let's lose the past, make love last
Put our worries on the shelfWe've been through thick and thin and back again
And we can endure love's sweet pain
Well remember, starting the fire is easy
The hardest part is learning how to keep the flameLove's like walking a real fine line
You get too close you'll go blind
Let go too long it, will all drift awayLove's a hard game to play
The heart's the price that you pay
Love's a hard game to play
No matter what they say
So win or lose, no matter what you sayJust 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 tallWell, 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, babyLove's a hard game to play
The heart's the price that you pay
Love's a hard game to play
No matter what you sayLove'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
Well love's a hard game to playIt's a hard game
It's a hard game to play
