Like is a Game

Like is a game
All you have to do
Is try to play it right
And stick to the rules

Try to roll the dice
And not pay the price
If you want to make it right
Don't get into a fight

Like is a game
Where you can't tell their name
Straight to their face
If you do, you tend lose the race

And although... I know... like is just a game
Sometimes it seems to hurt
If they never feel the same
Play through the pain

You can't let them know
Because if you do
It isn't any fun
If you give them a clue

You have to tease them
Make them try to hate you
And then, in the end,
They still might want to date you

Flash them a smile
Get them right
There in the heart
'Till they don't want to be apart

And never give up
Because if you do
You're going to lose the game
And then, what's there to prove?
