Only Game in Town Songtext

von Paul Young

Time after time I've turned it over in my mind
How could you let it go so long?
I had it all, I felt the spark but not the flame
And with a cold wind it's gone

I had the future in my hand
I didn't understand

[Chorus]
When the only game in town was tearing you down
And the love that I found slipped away
Now the real king of fools has no one to rule
And nothing to lose, much less to say
I should have never, never played
The only game in town

I need to talk with the only girl who knows
All of the big mistakes I've made
I held the moment in my hand
I didn't understand

[Chorus]

I'll pay the price for fooling around
I'll never find a love in this town
Should've never let you go

When the only game in town was tearing you down
And the love that I found slipped away
I should have never, never played
The only game in town
It was tearing me down
And the love that I found slipped away
Now the real king of fools has nothing to chose
Nothing to lose, much less to say
Only game in town
Tearing me down, playing
