For you I was a flame Love is a losing game Life's a story, fire as you came Love is a losing game And I wish I never played Oh, what a mess we made And now in the final frame Love is a losing game Played out by the bad Love is a losing hand And it is more than I can stand Love is a losing hand Self-professed and profound Till the tears were down Though you're a gambling man Love, love is a losing hand Now though I've battled blind Love is a faith resigned And the memories are on my mind Oh, love, love is a faith resigned Over futile love And laughed at by the gods And now in the final frame Oh, love is a losing game
