Ben Senterfit - Love To Play The Game Lyrics

If I had a single dollar, and it cost your love to play
Boy, I'd throw that paper down and lose your love to play the game
Cause a love can't last forever, even if you break the rules
But the game comes running back to you like a joker plays a fool
And I can't believe I'm standing, a dollar in my hand
And I'm throwing out your love to see if you come runnin' back again
But when the game is ended, and I'm alone again at last
Man, I'll take my arms around your love like a window to the past
Well, I'm standing in the darkness, and I'm holding out the blade
And I run my fingers down the line, I'm a betting man's brigade
But I'm betting on lost lovers, and I'm holding out your name
And I'm running out of time to find a jukebox to serenade
And I can't believe I'm standing here, a dollar in my hand
And I'm throwing out your love to see if you can run it back again
But when the game is ended, and I'm alone again at last
Man, I'll take my arms around your love like a window to the past
Well, a man can't run from loving the way he can from aches and pains
But he can buy himself some time if he can learn to love the game
And in the end it stands for nothing but a lonely way to choose
Between the days that rise and fall and yet another chance to lose
And I can't believe I'm standing, a dollar in my hand
And I'm throwing out your love to see if you can run it back again
But when the game is ended, and I'm alone again at last
Man, I'll take my arms around your love like a window to the past
