Why does laughter fade while tears leave a stain
Where does happiness go when sorrows remain
Sometimes it hurts so bad you feel like dying
And then you find yourself in stitches when you ought to be cryin'
You'll never learn your lesson you'll always be the same
That personal obsession called the lover's game
What happens to your heart when it's broken in two
You go lookin' for another just to hold on to
Then repeat the same mistakes as often as not
Or you get a lucky hand and you don't know what you got
Love is an addiction you don't know how to break
A head-on collision with everything at stake
Lover's game it happens every day
Lover's game calling you to play
Look out now no one's to blame
Throw caution to the wind it's the lover's game
He glides into the room looking fine as he can
He pretends not to notice and you're gone again
It don't matter about the warning or the trouble you've known
You're going to do what you do to keep on pushing on
It's part of the condition known as humankind
Down the road to perdition ignoring all the signs
Lover's game it happens every day
Lover's game calling you to play
Look out now no one's to blame
Throw caution to the wind it's the lover's game
You'll never learn your lesson you'll always be the same
It's a personal obsession called the lover's game
Yeah called a lover's game
It's a lover's game
