All your expectations of my love are impossible Surely you know That I'm not easy to hold It's so sad how incapable Of learning to grow I am My heart speaks in puzzle and codes I've been trying my whole life to solve God only knows how I've cried I can't take another defeat A next time would be the ending of me Now that I see That love is a game for fools to play And I ain't fooling (fooling) What a cruel thing (cruel thing) To self-inflict that pain Love is a game for fools to play And I ain't fooling again (fooling) What a cruel thing (cruel thing) To self-inflict that pain How unbelievable (unbelievable) Of me to fall for the lies that I tell (lies I tell) The dream that I sell (dream I sell) When heartache it's inevitable (it's inevitable) But I'm no good at doing it well Not that I care (I don't care) Why should anything about it be fair? When love is a game for fools to play And I ain't fooling (fooling) What a cruel thing (cruel thing) To self-inflict that pain Love is a game for fools to play And I ain't fooling again (fooling) What a cruel thing (cruel thing) To self-inflict that pain No amount of love Can keep me satisfied (satisfied, satisfied) I can't keep up (can't keep up, can't keep up) When I keep changing my mind (change your mind, change your mind) The feelings flood me To the heights of no compromise Love is a game for fools to play And I ain't fooling (fooling) What a cruel thing (cruel thing) To self-inflict that pain Love is a game for fools to play And I ain't fooling (fooling) What a cruel thing (cruel thing) To self-inflict that pain I can love I'd do it all again I love me now like I loved then I'm a fool for that You know I, you know I'm gonna do it Oh, oh, oh, oh I'd do it all again Like I did then 'Cause I'm addicted, I'm addicted You know I'm gonna do it again
