lyrics

Only fools play games they don’t mean to win
And only suckers go out there and lose again
Guess I’m a fool and a sucker too
A natural born loser

But I’ve played this game so many times
I’ve seen all the scenes, and I’ve said all the lines
Where’s that left me but alone and blue
On a cheap stool in a cheap boozer

But when I fall in love again
It won’t be with a woman, It’ll be with a friend
And she’ll stick by me when I make my final stand
Even if the stars fall down on me
And when I fall in love again
It won’t be the beginning it’ll be the end
Of the longest, loveless time I’ve ever known
Since I was born

Well I ain’t been ‘round so many years
But I guess I’ve cried my share of tears
And I’ve had those nasty midnight fears
And I guess that’s just natural, isn’t it
But as long as my time here ain’t done
Guess there’s still one race left to run
And I won’t rest until that race is won
And man, I’m gonna win it

And when I fall in love again
It won’t be with a woman, It’ll be with a friend
she’ll stick by me when I make my final stand
Even if the stars fall down on me
And when I fall in love again
It won’t be the beginning it’ll be the end
Of the longest, loveless time I’ve ever known
Since I was born
