I asked myself, “How dare I-
Become involved again”?
This game of love and passion,
Deals a hand I cannot win.

But I heard the phone start ringing-
Then when you came on the line...
I could not hold my feelings back,
I had to make you mine.

You told me that you loved me-
I told you all the same...
Our pulses pounding wildly,
As we play the cheating game...

No way to help our getting hurt-
No way we’re gonna win...
We lay our hearts upon a number,
Give the wheel a spin...

Round and round we seem to go,
And as the action slows...
Once again we’re bound to fall,
But where, nobody knows.

But I have to have the feelings-
Your tender voice can give...
Those tender, sweet I love you’s-
Still impart me strength to live.
