Love Is A Losing Game
Amy Winehouse · Amy Winehouse At The Bbc [2012]
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
One I wished 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 professed, profound
Till the chips were down
Though you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Though I'd rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the Gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
Love Is A Losing Game
