Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You had words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things your heart can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there by your side
With a small bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your fingertips
And your heart will fly away
You had words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things your heart can rise above
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there by your side
With a small bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your fingertips
And your heart will fly away
The lyrics of "It's All In The Game" by Johnny Mathis talk about the ups and downs of love. The opening lines "Many a tear has to fall, but it's all in the game" set the tone for the song. Mathis sings about the game of love and how it has its own set of rules. The phrase "all in the wonderful game, that we know as love" suggests that while love can be challenging, it is also beautiful and worth playing.
