Part Of The Game

(album: Part Of The Game - 1979)

You turn around and you walk away
You know there ain't nothing more to say
You've played the game like nobody else
But now you're playing against yourself
'Cause the next time you hear that phone ring
Anticipating the love it will bring
When all along you know
It's just gonna break your heart

Baby, give it up
(It's such a shame, girl)
Don't you know when you've had enough
(Just part of the game, girl)
Remember the game can turn around
(Ain't no one to blame, girl)
When you're down, when you've had enough
(Just part of the game, girl)
You know it's just part of the game

You'll never give him your heart again
You can't go back now and start again
The love you deal is called solitaire
When you're losing cards that were never there

And all the times you opened up with your love
No matter what you gave it wasn't enough
And all along you knew
It's just gonna fall apart

Baby, give it up
(It's such a shame, girl)
Don't you know when you've had enough
(Just part of the game, girl)
Remember the game can turn around
(Ain't no one to blame, girl)
When you're down, when you've had enough
(Just part of the game, girl)
You know it's just part of the game

Baby, don't give in
(It's such a shame, girl)
You can win, you can have the love
(Just part of the game, girl)
Baby you can take the deal
(Ain't no one to blame, girl)
Make it real, you can have the love
(Just part of the game, girl)
You know it's just part of the game
