You say the same things over and over Get excited but you keep your composure You say she's beautiful, the only thing that's real But your words say nothing you feel Convince yourself that she's right for now Got her dreams, she's gotta get off somehow When it comes to the morning, you'll be feeling the same You only love her when she's screaming your name
[Chorus] How many times will you lose it just to know you had it How many hearts will be broken in the aftermath and How many people will it take to make you understand that Love is not a game Still you play the fool (baby) Play the fool (Play the fool baby) Play the fool (ooooohhhhh) Play the fool
[Verse 2] Oh, did you think you were wrong Giving her one too many lies on the load She had far too much love to be wasted on you Should have kept it locked away for another lover And you said I don't want to be alone I can't make it on my own You said I don't want to be alone I can't make it on my own
[Pre-Outro] How many times will you lose it just to know you had it How many hearts will be broken in the aftermath and How many people will it take to make you understand that Love is not a game (ahhhhhh)
[Outro] x3 until fade Still you play the fool (How many times will you lose it just to know you had it) Play the fool (How many hearts will be broken in the aftermath and) (Play the fool) How many people will it take to make you understand that Love is not a game
