  • All your expectations of my love are impossible
    Surely you know, that I'm not easy to hold
    It's so sad how incapable of learning to grow I am
    My heart speaks in puzzle and codes
    I've been trying my whole life to solve
    God only knows how I've cried
    I can't take another defeat
    A next time would be the ending of me
    Now that I see

    That love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain
    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain't fooling again (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    How unbelievable (unbelievable)
    Of me to fall for the lies that I tell? (Lies I tell)
    The dream that I sell? (Dream I sell)
    When heartache, it's inevitable (and unbearable)
    But I'm no good at doing it well
    Not that I care (I don't care)
    Why should anything about it be fair?

    When love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain
    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain't fooling again (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    No amount of love, can keep me satisfied (satisfied, satisfied)
    I can't keep up (can't keep up, can't keep up)
    When I keep changing my mind (change my mind, change my mind)
    The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise

    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain
    Love is a game for fools to play
    And I ain't fooling (fooling), what a cruel thing (cruel thing)
    To self-inflict that pain

    I can love, I can love again
    I love me now, like I love him
    I'm a fool for that
    You know I, you know I'm gonna do it
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    I'd do it all again like I did it Writer/s: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, Dean Wynton Josiah Cover
