For you I was a flame, love is a losing game Five-story fire as you came, love is a losing game One I wish I'd never played, oh what a mess we made And now the final frame, love is a losing game Played out by the band, love is a losing hand It's more than I could stand, love is a losing hand Self-professed profound, till the chips were down You know I'm a gambling man, love is a losing hand Instrumental Though I battle blind, love is a fate resigned Memories mar my mind, love is a fate resigned Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods And now the final frame, love is a losing game And now the final frame, love is a losing game
