For you I was a flame,
 
Love is a losing game
 
Five story fire as you came,
 
Love is 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 chips were down
 
Know you're a gambling man
 
Love is a losing hand

 
Tho' I battled blind,
 
Love is a fate resigned
 
Memories mar my mind,
 
Love it is a fate resigned

 
Over futile odds,
 
And laughed at by the Gods
 
And now the final frame
 
Love is a losing game
