爱情是一场总会输的游戏 Amy Winehouse

Love Is A Losing Game

Amy Winehouse

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self professed¹... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling² man
Love is a losing hand

Though I'm rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar³ my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile⁴ odds⁵
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
