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 my heartache, it's inevitable
(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
(I can't keep up, I can't keep up)
When I keep changing my mind
(Change my mind, change my 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
Oh you know, I'd do it all again
I love it now like I loved it then
I′m a fool for that
You know I'm, you know I′m gonna do it
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'd do it all again, like I did then
