Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know, that we know as love

[Verse 2]
You have words, you have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your heart can rise, rise above (Oh, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3]
Once in a while he won't call (Mhm)
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet, a sweet bouquet
With a sweet bouquet

[Chorus]
Then he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart, your hearts got to fly
Fly away
Come on, sing it now

[Interlude]
Do-do, do-do
Do, do
Oh, yeah

[Chorus]
Then he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away

[Outro]
It's all in the game, the game called love (All in the game, the game called love)
All in the game, the game called love
Do-do, do-do
Do, do
Do-do, do-do (Hey)
Do, do
All in the game, the game called love
