Lyrics
Open up your mind and let me step inside

Rest your weary head and let your heart decide

It's so easy when you know the rules

It's so easy, all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game

Everybody play the game

Of love

Yeah

When you're feeling down and your resistance is low

Light another cigarette and let yourself go

This is your life, don't play hard to get

It's a free world, all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game

Everybody play the game

Of love

Ooh yeah

My game of love has just begun

Love runs from my head down to my toes

My love is pumping through my veins (play the game)

Driving me insane (come, come, come, come)

Come play the game, play the game, play the game, play the game

[Guitar Solo]

Play the game

Everybody play the game

Of love

This is your life, don't play hard to get

It's a free world (free world), all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game (yeah)

Everybody play the game

Of love

Your life, don't play hard to get

It's a free world (free world), all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game

Everybody play the game

Of love
