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 to Johnny Mathis's song It's All in the Game explore the ups and downs of love. The opening lyrics acknowledge the pain and heartache that often come with love when it says, "Many a tear has to fall, but it's all in the game." The use of the phrase "all in the game" suggests that love is like a game, with its own rules and outcomes that we must accept. However, the lyrics also suggest that, despite the pain, love is still a wonderful thing. It says, "All in the wonderful game, that we know as love."
The lyrics then go on to describe a situation where a couple has had an argument and the future of the relationship seems uncertain. It acknowledges that sometimes things don't always go smoothly in a relationship: "You had words with him and your future's looking dim." However, the lyrics suggest that the heart can rise above these challenges and difficulties. The second verse goes on to describe how, despite the temporary setbacks, love will eventually prevail. The flower bouquet and the kisses described symbolize the joy and sweetness that love can bring, which seems enough to make the heart fly away.
