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 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,
More than I could stand,
Love is a losing hand,Self professed, profound,
'til the tips were down,
Though you're a gambling man,
Love is a losing hand,
Tho' 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.
