The Game of Love Lyrics

There is a game of love
This is a game of love
And it was you

The one that would be breaking my heart
When you decided to walk away
When i wanted you to stay

And it was you
Me I just wanted you to stay

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is about the psychological side effects when opposites attract;

There is a game of love This is a game of love And it was you...

(The robot wants a relationship. He expects to win, because he's a well oiled machine! And who wouldn't want a studly robot?!)

The one that would be breaking my heart (This line is pacing! Surprise! You've been beat at what you thought was your game!)

When you decided to walk away (The spoils of defeat! This is the last thing... a robot wants to gain affection?)

And it was you (Conceding the loss, the robot virtually accepts his loss as an intimate figure)

Me I just wanted you to stay (The robot only ever thrived on the company of his beloved)
