I have never believed those words
What you want in life comes easy
If it's easy, it's no good
Life can be just like chopping wood
The situation for everyone might be different
But I know in common
There's a feeling we all share
There's no boundaries
Only the air lies in between
And if it's love you want
You gotta give to be given to
And if there's one you want
You're gonna need to be needed too
No matter who you are
Wherever you may go
That's the rule of the game
Take or leave it baby come or go
Rule of the game
That's the only thing you need to know
I look around me and realize that
In my life I've been quite lucky
But I've gambled on the line
And played some blackjack with father time
The cards he dealt me gave me the chance
And it may be just temporary
Don't you let yourself forget
What's to come will be better yet
If you follow the rules
And if it's love you want
You gotta give to be given to
And if there's one you want
You're gonna need to be needed too
No matter who you are
Wherever you may go
That's the rule of the game
Take or leave it baby come or go
Rule of the game
That's the only thing you need to know
Rule of the game
Take or leave it baby come or go
Rule of the game
And if it's love you want
You gotta give to be given to
And if there's one you want
You're gonna need to be needed too
No matter who you are
Wherever you may go
That's the rule of the game
Take or leave it baby come or go
Rule of the game
That's the only thing you need to know
