If you're going to play the game of love You have to be prepared to lose sometimes To gamble for the highest stakes You take a chance with body, soul and mind You run the risk of loneliness When you put your heart upon the line Sometimes you luck will rise and fall But you'll find it's worth it all If you just win one time There's a wealth of happiness and peace of mind If you play the game of love and win one time You never know when you might win So give the wheel of love another turn It may stop on happiness But there's no guarantee when love's concerned Fate's the one who deals the hand And you may think he's cheating you sometimes But when you know true love's at stake It's more than worth the chance you take If you just win one time But when you know true love's at stake It's more than worth the chance you take If you just win one time
