Lyrics

Shake the dice and here we go
Play the game that we both know
But the question stands
What’s the number in your hand
Up the ladder, we’re on our way
It’s gonna be our lucky day
But watch out, you know what they say
Just when you think it’s all a given
Down the snake you go

Loving you is like a game
Just when we’re winning
We throw it all away
But loving you is worth the pain
Let’s make a beginning
And go back to the start

There’s never been so much to lose
Which one of us is gonna make a move
The dice are loaded either way
The stupid game that we both play
But stop – ooh think about it baby
We both need each other
And I don’t mean maybe
Up the ladder, we’re on our way
It’s gonna be our lucky day
But watch out, you know what they say
Just when you think it’s all a given
Down the snake we’ll go

Loving you is like a game
Just when we’re winning
We throw it all away
But loving you is worth the pain
Let’s make a beginning
And go back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start

We fly so high we can touch the stars
I want us to stay where we are
But then down again we go

Loving you is like a game
Just when we’re winning
We throw it all away
But loving you is worth the pain
Let’s make a beginning
And go back to the start
Loving you is like a game
Just when we’re winning
We throw it all away
But loving you is worth the pain
Let’s make a beginning
And go back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start
