Why don't you love me the way that you should?
The way that you do me don't do me no good
I should forget you, I would if I could
But I can't

If this is a game then tell me the rules
All that we're playing is Jerry Lee ball blue
You don't care about me, I love you anyway

It's a love game and I'm fallin' b'hind
A bad way, too close to the line
It's a crying shame, but I'm a-losing m-my mind over you

Now, time after time I say it's the end
And I swear that I'll never go through that again
But who am I kidding? Darlin', I'd take you back anytime
So, laughing and crying, it's all the same
I guess that's just all part of love's cheating game
My eyes are open, but woman, who am I to blame?

Oh god, it's a love game, I'm fallin' behind
A bad a-way, too close to the line
It's a crying shame, but I'm a-losin' ma-my mind over you (don't you hear me, girl?)

It's a love game and I'm falling behind
A bad way, too close to the line
It's a crying shame, but I'm losing a-my mind over you (losing my mind over you)
Play it son, play it
I might get 'er back, yet

One more time!
It's a love game, I'm falling behind
Just a bad bad bad bad way, too close a-to the line
A crying shame, but I'm losing my mind over you (losing my mind over you)
