Lyrics

Somebody told me to walk away

When love got hard and i had to play

But you know it’s such a shame

Nobody knows how to play

This loving game

Sometimes we all seem to act like fools

But do we care who breaks the rules?

I suppose it’s all the same

We never learn how to play

This loving game

Do i love you after so much

As i did before?

Darling i could hardly love you more

I tried to look for some good advice

Cos we all have to pay the price

But till now, you never came

I’ll never know how to play

This loving game

Do i love you after s-much

As i used to do?

No one knows me half as well as you

Yeah, you know you do, you know you

Somebody told me to walk away

When love got hard and i had to play

But you know that it’s still a shame

Nobody knows how to play

This loving game

Nobody knows how to play

This loving game

Officially appears on
