lyrics

9

the game of love
(Paul Brady)

He walked his sweetheart down the aisle
You shoulda seen his mama cry
She was the only girl for him
And he would never leave her side
And daddy sends them the ‘money down’
To build their castle in the sky
Just like a magazine romance
A springtime honeymoon in France

Soon comes a bouncing baby boy
And he’s the apple of their eye
A custom-made recipe for joy
A gift that money couldn’t buy
But Bobby’s stayin’ out late at night
And Mary’s drinkin’ on the sly
Is this some world I’m dreaming of?
If there’s somebody up above
Teach us to play the game of love

(Chorus)
Pushing and pulling, tears on the pillow
Digging in deeper each day
She wants his loving, he says she’s changing
Slipping away
Who needs the heartache of staying together
Let’s call it a day

Some people say right from the start
That love is just a foolish game
And when we end up against the wall
We find somebody else to blame
But if the loser gets a broken heart
How come the winner gets the same?
Do we just pick up the house of cards
So we can do it all again?
Is this some world I’m dreaming of?
If there’s somebody up above
Teach us to play the game of love
