Verse 1

I've got troubles to my left troubles to my right
They stick around for days I can't solve them overnight
There seems to be a problem that may never have an answer
It's called love and for some it's here forever

Chorus

Love can be so hard and cruel
So make this your golden rule
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
But don't play the part of the fool

Verse 2

Love has been around as long as life itself
It's just a game we play and we can't play ourselves
So all I have to say don't let it get you down
There's never been an answer so don't expect one now

Chorus

Love can be so hard and cruel
So make this your golden rule
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
But don't play the part of the fool

Verse 3

So now you know about this thing called love
Your troubles can be solved you just have to give it time
When everything is fine love shows it's ugly head
Don't play this game stay away instead
Chorus

Love can be so hard and cruel
So make this your golden rule
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
But don't play the part of the fool
