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
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
