Lyrics

Love Is Just A Game That People Play
Fran Powers - BMI

Verse 1:
Take the "B" out of Blue and say Baby.
Take the "M" out of Mad and say Maybe.
This game may seem confusing
When it's your heart you're losing,
But LOVE IS JUST A GAME THAT PEOPLE PLAY.

Love is just a game that people play at now and then.
Half the people lose and half the people win.
Then the half that loses turns around and trys again.
LOVE IS JUST A GAME THAT PEOPLE PLAY.

Take the "T" out of tears and say True Love
Take the "N" out of Never and say New Love.
We all say when we're crying
This time we'll give up trying
But LOVE IS JUST A GAME THAT PEOPLE PLAY.

Take the "Y" out of Yearning and say You Do.
Take the "M" out of Memries and say Me Too.
Put them all together and say We Do.
We'll be winners in this game that people play.
We're winners in this GAME OF LOVE THAT PEOPLE PLAY.
