Tell me Just what you want me to be One kiss And boom you're the only one for me So please tell me Why don't you come around no more? 'Cause right now I'm crying outside the door of your candy store It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain I'm telling you my babe It's all in the game of Love is Whatever you make it to be Sunshine Instead of this cold lonely sea So please baby Try and use me for what I'm good for It ain't saying goodbye It's knocking down the door of your candy store It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain I'm telling you baby It's all in the game of love It's all in this game of love You roll me Control me Console me Please hold me You guide me Divide me Into me So please tell me Why don't you come around no more? 'Cause right now I'm dying outside the door of your loving store It just take a little bit of this, a little bit of that It started with a kiss Now we're up to bat A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain I'm telling you my babe It's all in the game of love All in this game of love It's all in the game of love Let's play the game of love Roll me Control me Please hold me I'm out here on my own On my own
