Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen baby
I have something
That I want to tell you dear
It's a new way
Its a feeling of goodness
I want you to be near
And I know how
How the feeling
Grows inside you don't let go
How I know
What you feel
Oh it happens all the time
You never change you mind
Oh I know
Love is just a game
I said Oh don't ask me all the time
I happen to be fine
Oh I know
Love is just a game
Listen baby
I have something
That I want to make you see
It's a new day
It's a feeling of goodness
I want you to be free
And I know how
How the feeling
Grows inside you don't let go
How I know
What you feel
And I say Oh
it happens all the time
You never change you mind
Oh I know
How it's all a game
Oh don't ask me all the time
I happen to be fine
Oh I know
Love is just a game
When you by chance have a feeling
Feel inside and don't let go
When you by chance have a feeling
Feel my heart
When you by chance have a feeling
That's so wild you don't let go
How I know
What you feel
It's all a game I said Oh
Don't ask me all the time
I happen to be fine
I know
Love is just a game
Love is just a game
Love is just a game




Love is just a game
Love is just a game
