“Love is a game,” is the 12th and final track off the “30,” Album
What is the song Love is a game by Adele all about?
Adele in this song is willing to give love a try again, and love the person wholeheartedly. Just like she is loving her new guy, Rich Paul after her divorce.
However, she says she may not be able to satisfy the expectations of her lover, just like he may not be able to satisfy hers. But still, she would let herself love again.
Love Is A Game by Adele Lyrics
Verse 1
All your expectations of my love are impossible
Surely, you know that I’m not easy to hold
It’s so sad how incapable of learning to grow I am
My heart speaks in puzzle and codes
I’ve been trying my whole life to solve
God only knows how I’ve cried
I can’t take another defeat
A next time would be the ending of me
Now that I see
Chorus
That love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling again (Fooling)
What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Verse 2
How unbelievable (Unbelievable)
Of me to fall for the lies that I tell (Lies I tell)
The dream that I sell (Dream I sell)
When heartache, it’s inevitable (It’s inevitable)
But I’m no good at doing it well
Not that I care (I don’t care)
Why should anything about it be fair?
Chorus
When love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling again (Fooling)
What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Bridge
No amount of love
Can keep me satisfied (Satisfied, satisfied)
I can’t keep up (Can’t keep up, can’t keep up)
When I keep changing my mind (Change my mind, change my mind)
The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise
Chorus
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling)
What a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Outro
Oh, you know I’d do it all again
I love it now like I loved it then
I’m a fool for them
You know I’m, you know I’m gonna do it, oh
I’ll do it all again like I did then
