For you I was a flame, 
Love is a losing game 
Five storey 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 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
