The Game of Love
[Verse 1]
Love is just a game of illusion man has not defined
It's the basic game of confusion in a woman's mind
The game of love begins on needles and on pins
The woman always wins, who understands it?
She throws a flirty eye, inviting yet so shy
But if you make a try she reprimands it

[Verse 2]
You gotta be a man of charm
A guarantee you mean no harm
When they agree to take your arm
They wanna see a four alarm
When you take them for granted
They go up in the air
Stop, and then they're enchanted
But it gets you nowhere

[Chorus]
You can beat the dizzy quest of it
Show a grin and make the best of it
It's a spend but that's the zest of it
Then you'll know what love is about

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
They want the man they meet
To sweep them off their feet
But make it look discreet
How can you fight it?
They want an overture
You make it, she's demure
She freezes you for sure
How can you right it?

[Verse 4]
They take a man of fine physique
And with a plan that's so unique
They leave his vanity so weak
He never can regain his peak
If you're bold and aggressive
You're a cad and a knave
When you're cold she's possessive
You have made her a slave

[Chorus]
You can beat the dizzy quest of it
Show a grin and make the best of it
It's a spend but that's the zest of it
Then you'll know what love is about
[Outro]
Then you'll know what love is about
