Love and learn about the birds and bees and the flowers of the mystery And if you really want to give yourself a blue love and learn about the blues The rocky road is pretty hard to take But you don't know nothing till your heart breaks If you want to know how much you've got to lose love and learn about the blues Love is a game where your life gets spoken But the game gets rough when your heart get broken You'll say at home a sittin' all alone waitin' for the doorbell or the telephone Then you'll know about what everyone must learn If you play around with love your will sure to get burned So when you go to pick a guy be careful who you choose Or you'll love and learn about the blues [ sax ] Love is a game where life gets spoken...
