The game of love

 Is such a beautiful game

If you've got time, little girl

I'd like to explain

All the do's and don'ts

All the wills and won'ts

So Lend an ear, darling dear

 (Sweet darling dear)

Do be sincere

 And true love will appear

Don't be shy

 Or love will pass you by

If you will

 My heart you may steal

If you don't

 The game of love you lose alone

(Darling dear)

Do be sincere

 And true love will appear

Don't be shy

 Or love will pass you by

If you will

 My heart you may steal

If you don't

 The game of love you lose alone

(First)

First I'll place my arms

 So gently around you

(Then)

Then whisper darling I'm so glad I found you

Then your lips unwind

A simple touch wouldn't mind

A kiss will stay, darling dear

 (Sweet darling dear)

Darling, darling dear, yeah

(Sweet darling dear)

Darling dear

(Sweet darling dear)

Darling dear
