For you I was a flame,

Love is a losing game

Five story fire as you came,

Love is 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
