Yuppies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up your mind and let me step inside
Rest your weary head and let your heart decide
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy
All you have to do is fall in love

Play the game, everybody play the game
Of love

When your feeling down and your resistance is low
Light another cigarette and let yourself go
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love

Play the game everybody play the game of love
My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping trough my veins
Driving me insane

Play the game
Everybody play the game of love
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world
All you have to do is fall in love
Play the game of love
This is your life, don't play hard to get

It's a free, free world
All you have to do is fall in love
