The game of love
山塔那Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what you want me to be
One kiss
And boom you're the only one for me
So please tell me
Why don't you come around no more?
'Cause right now
I'm crying outside the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you my babe
It's all in the game of
Love is
Whatever you make it to be
Sunshine
Instead of this cold lonely sea
So please baby
Try and use me for what I'm good for
It ain't saying goodbye
It's knocking down the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you baby
It's all in the game of love
It's all in this game of love
You roll me
Control me
Console me
Please hold me
You guide me
Divide me
Into me
So please tell me
Why don't you come around no more?
'Cause right now
I'm dying outside the door of your loving store
It just take a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you my babe
It's all in the game of love
All in this game of love
It's all in the game of love
Let's play the game of love
Roll me
Control me
Please hold me
I'm out here on my own
On my own
The song "The Game of Love" by Santana, featuring Michelle Branch, is an upbeat track that talks about the game of love and its many twists and turns. The song starts with the singer expressing her willingness to be whatever her lover wants her to be, hoping for a kiss that will make her the only one for him. However, she is left confused and brokenhearted when her lover no longer comes around. The chorus of the song emphasizes that love is what we make it to be, and it takes both the good and the bad experiences to make it work.
The first verse of the song showcases the singer's vulnerability, crying outside the door of her lover's candy store. The use of the word "candy store" represents her lover's attraction, which is too sweet to resist, but also a site of temptation that can be dangerous to indulge in. The second verse of the song talks about how the game of love involves a little bit of everything, including laughter and pain. The chorus emphasizes that love is a mixed bag of emotions and experiences, which are all part of the game.
The bridge of the song talks about the strong hold that love can have on us, using simple actions like rolling and controlling as an analogy. The singer pleads with her lover to hold her and guide her, emphasizing the importance of feeling loved and supported in the game of love. The song ends with the singer admitting that she is out on her own, ready to play the game of love once more.

@@user-hl2xq9gl3l And ME!!!!! Simply one of the best tracks ever recorded, not over-produced, just two of the best. A regular track in the car for long journeys, keeps me going for the run from Scotland to Kent and back every couple of days.

Carlos Santana is a legend. Michelle Branch is a creator. Best song when we need to remember to care about each other. All in the game of love.
