Chorus:
Love is the losers’ game
One is free and has the other to blame
Love will always be this way
You will learn from what I say
One head down, one in the stream
The head is mine and
Now I don’t even dare to dream

One or the other has got to lose
Which side you’re on you can’t choose
You can’t choose if you’ll stand or fall
One is the winner, the other gets nothing at all

One or the other will end up alone
Losers can’t leave the telephone
But I’m not saying love is mean
I’m only saying that lovers can’t end up between

Chorus.

A relationship can’t be even
When the break is caused by one
If you break up I won’t be glad
You gain your freedom, but darling of course I’ll be sad

I can’t explain but I know love’s fragile
That’s why love’s different for a child
Some loves are simple so you can’t go wild
But real love would make a one-legged man go many miles

Chorus.

You can’t choose if you’ll stand or fall
One is the winner the other gets nothing at all

(Short break)

But I’m not saying love is mean
I’m only saying that lovers can’t end up between

(Long break)

If you break up I won’t be glad
You gain your freedom, but darling of course I’ll be sad

Chorus.
