All your expectations of my love are impossible

Surely you know, that I'm not easy to hold

It's so sad how incapable of learning to grow I am

My heart speaks in puzzle and codes

I've been trying my whole life to solve

God only knows how I've cried

I can't take another defeat

A next time would be the ending of me

Now that I see, ee-ee, ee-ee...

That love (ooh-ooh) is a game (ooh-ooh) for fools to play (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)

To self-inflict that pain, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah...

Love (ooh-ooh) is a game (ooh-ooh) for fools to play (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)

To self-inflict that pain.

How unbelievable (unbelievable)

Of me to fall, for the lies that I tell? (lies I tell)

The dream that I sell? (dream I sell)

When heartache, it's inevitable (it's inevitable)

But I'm no good at doing it well

Not that I care (I don't care)

Why should anything about it be fair?

When love (ooh-ooh) is a game (ooh-ooh) for fools to play (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)

To self-inflict that pain, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah...

Love (ooh-ooh) is a game (ooh-ooh) for fools to play (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling again (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)

To self-inflict that pain.

No amount of love, can keep me satisfied (satisfied, satisfied)

I can't keep up (can't keep up, can't keep up)

When I keep changing my mind (change my mind, change my mind)

The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise.

Love (ooh-ooh) is a game (ooh-ooh) for fools to play (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)

To self-inflict that pain, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah...

Love (ooh-ooh) is a game (ooh-ooh) for fools to play (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling again (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)

To self-inflict that pain (ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah)

I can love, I can love again

I love me now, like I love him

I'm a fool for that

You know I, you know I'm gonna do it

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I'd do it all again like I did it.
