Vs 1

Love’s a crazy game but it keeps me hangin’ on,

You were walking up and down and I wondered for how long.

You said to me get back to you won’t let me go,

And then you walked right out the door and said good-bye.

Chorus

So why is it that we hurt the ones we love?

Why do we play with this gun?

Why, do we play these games with each other?

Vs 2

Your affection comes, when you want to give it,

And it seems that you can only give when you can gain.

Well you’d better get, everything you can

‘Coz I’m leavin’ on the midnight train.

Chorus

So why is it that we hurt the ones we love?

Why do we play with this gun?

Why, do we play these games with each other?

Bridge

One of me says I don’t need anything.

Another one needs affection all the time.

Maybe the problem is, I think too much,

Yeah maybe I think, too much.

Vs 3

You’re tellin’ me that you’re a man in love,

And that I’m the lucky one.

Well you don’t act like a man in love with me,

O no, no not me.

Chorus

So why is it that we hurt the ones we love?

Why do we play with this gun?

Why, do we play these games with each other?
