A look of the eye across a crowded floor
A look that tells me you're ready for more
The closer you get, the better I know
What's on your mind, though you're taking it slow
Well, that's okay, I know it's only a game
You make a forward pass, you're setting the pace
I'm looking for a home run, but I ain't past first base
One thing's for certain, wanna penetrate
Your personal space, so don't make me wait
Fire the gun, I know it's only a game
It's only a game called love
And sometimes you're gonna win
It's only a game called love
And it's gonna break your heart again and again
It's a serious case of shoot to kill
I'm aiming to score to get ahead 1-0
Don't give up, you gotta keep on trying
The move you make is all satisfying
But in the end, you're gonna win
And remember, it's only a game
This is the way the game goes
It's only a game called love
And sometimes you're gonna win
It's only a game called love
And it's gonna break your heart again and again
You can't escape the lovesick fools
Getting hotter and hotter, gotta stay cool
Go back to your corner, get ready to play
When I'm good and ready, I'll meet you halfway
We'll both be winners, remember it's only a game
Yeah, it's only a game
Ooh
Yeah, it's only a game
Yeah, it's only a game
