If I slipped away
Maybe nobody'd notice
You'd probably say
It's just one of those things
With a little dismay
And a shrug of the shoulders
You'd buy a coat
Against the cold
Love ..... has left the arena
Love ..... has left the arena
One day I'm here
The next I vanish
It seems severe
But you carry on
It's not the end of the world
There are compensations
Maybe it's money
Maybe it's d**
Love ..... has left the arena
Love ..... has left the arena
This world is spectacular
With many diversions
You can ski down a mountain
In a dayglo suit
You can build up an empire
You can be a conquistador
And when you've won
What'll you do?
Oh
If love ..... has left the arena
Love ..... has left the arena
