Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
The game of love, love, love, love, la la la la la love
It started long ago in the garden of Eden
When Adam said to Eve, "Baby, you're for me"
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
Come on, baby, 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
The game of love, love, love, love, la la la la la love
Yeah, (oh yeah) whoa, yeah (oh yeah)
Well come on, baby, 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on, baby, let's start today, come on, baby, let's play
The game of (love) love, (love) love, la la la la la love
The game of love, baby, the game of la la la la la love
The game of love, baby, the game of la la la la la love
The game of love, baby
The lyrics of Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders' "The Game of Love" are an upbeat and playful reflection on the nature of love and its inherent importance in the lives of men and women. The song focuses on the idea that the purpose of men is to love women and vice versa, and that this is a natural, innate desire that exists from the moment of creation. The lyrics are very simple, yet effective in conveying this message, with the repetition of "come on baby let's start today, come on baby let's play" emphasizing the idea that love is an action to be taken, not just a feeling to be experienced.
The lyrics also reference the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, where the concept of love between a man and a woman is said to have originated. By using this reference, the song suggests that the game of love has been played throughout human history, with men and women coming together to express their mutual affection for one another. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "love, la la la la la love", is catchy and easy to sing along to, adding to the playful and upbeat tone of the song.
