THE GAME
There’s a game in life that everybody plays
it is played all over the world in many different ways
This is a game that has many different rules
it’s played by those that think they are smart, and it’s played by fools
As every rule has it’s conception
every rule has it’s exception
As you use these rules as your tools
you’ll find that every exception has it’s rules
There’s a game you have to play to the end
but it’s a game no one can ever win
The game can be played for your whole life
sometimes we even take along a husband or wife
To play the game can really be cool
some play nice and some play cruel
The game can make your nerves run thin
the rules of the game can sometimes make you sin
There is a game that can keep you on the run
some people play for keeps and some play for fun
In the game all thing are fair
and some that play the game just don’t care
There’s a game that shouldn’t be played with a friend
that is one of the rules, but rules are made to bend
When playing with a friend, and you take a roll in the clover
when the game is done, your friendship could be over
There is a game where there is no wrong or right
and sometimes to reach your goal, you may have to fight
There is a game where there is no blame
but we still point our fingers just the same
There’s a game that if you want to make it through
you should find someone that likes to play with you
If you can find someone that seems like they were sent from above
If you can find the right person, you’ll do well in this game of Love
