People say love is a game Monopoly is more fun than this **** and at least that comes with directions though no one bothers to read them With love the rules change with every new player The basics are You should smile Laugh at all their jokes especially if none of them are funny do not be too “available” do not awkward do not be weird, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. I’m not a hopeless romantic I’m just hopeless People tell me to get a clue But I’d much rather be playing clue Yeah Miss Scarlett killed Mr. Body with the lead pipe in the hall But hey at least she can’t break your heart See I don’t mind losing a silly little board game but baby I couldn’t stand to lose you When you’re gone my hearts when you’re with me it hurts even more This hurt shooting through my veins and down my spine like the rush of a thousand bingos and Yahtzee’s combined   reminding me I’m alive That I can feel and think and… love I don’t want to lose that I can’t lose that But wins and losses are a part of life And I’m not talking about the one I can cheat at So I’ll just cross my fingers and roll the dice.
