| He walked his sweetheart down the aisle
|
| You should have seen his mama cry
|
| She was the only girl for him
|
| And he would never, never leave her side
|
| And daddy sends them the money down
|
| To build a castle in the sky
|
| Just like a magazine romance
|
| A springtime honeymoon in France
|
| Soon comes the bouncin' baby boy
|
| And he’s the apple of her eye
|
| A custom-made recipe for joy
|
| A gift that money couldn’t buy
|
| But Bobby’s staying out late at night
|
| And Mary’s drinkin' on the sly
|
| Is this some world that I’m dreaming of?
|
| Is there somebody above?
|
| Teach us to play the game of love
|
| Pushing and pullin', tears on the pillow
|
| Digging in deeper each day
|
| She wants his lovin', he says she’s changin'
|
| And slipping away
|
| Who needs the heartache of staying together?
|
| Let’s call it a day
|
| Some people say right from the start
|
| That love is just a foolish game
|
| And when we end up against the wall
|
| To find somebody else to blame
|
| But if the loser gets the broken heart
|
| How come the winner gets the same?
|
| The winner get the same
|
| We just pick up the house of cards
|
| So we can do it all again
|
| Is this some world that I’m dreaming of?
|
| Is there somebody above?
|
| Teach us to play the game of love
