[Chorus]
Life's a game of give and take
To prevent the sure heartache
Life's a game of give and take
In love
Oh, life's a game of give and take
To prevent the sure heartache
Life's a game of give and take
In love

[Verse 1]
I will return for all the years
Will rise, baby
I can't admit understanding
Why am I to blame
Nothing 'bout your business
See you on the way
Never been a witness
See me on the way
Oh, tell me what it is made you want to change your mind
Did you say "it's your fault you want to fight"?

[Background repeating]
Very special love
Very special love affair
[Chorus x2]
Life's a game of give and take
To prevent the sure heartache
Life's a game of give and take
In love

Yesterday, you said you still loved me
Still stringing my poor heart along, baby
But since I been without you
I can see all the things I done wrong
It's not your business
I don't need to know
I know what you're doing
Everywhere you go
I will not forget you
Long as the years pass, baby
Your love was fine, so satisfying
The pleasure was like pure gold, sugar
Now tell me will you forget it
And me filled with reverie
I look back with disassociation
At our history
The good times belong to those
Who really wish to enjoy, baby
I tell all the children
Ours was a love that fell
Oh, tell me what it really was
Made you want to change your life
As far as I can see
You had paradise, you had paradise

[Background repeating]
Very heavy love
Very heavy love affair

I put you on a pedestal
And said I worshiped you secretly, baby
I tried my best to change you
I'm going to admit my mistakes
Just like to the wind

[Chorus]
Life's a game of give and take
To prevent the sure heartache
Life's a game of give and take
In love
Life's a game of give and take
To suppress the sure heartache
Life's a game of give and take
In love
Life's a game of give and take
To suppress the sure heartache
Life's a game of give and take
In love
