When you gamble in love, and bet all your money on what seems to be a good hand, you may be unpleasantly surprised. And the person you are playing with may just walk away from the table.

Lyrics
Loser's Game
Words & Music by Elly Wininger
Love is a loser's game.
Love is a loser's game.
You may think you've got a good hand
But it'll slip through your fingers
Like the shifting sand.
Love is a loser's game.
Love is a loser's game.
Love is a loser's game.
You feel good, and so you bet high
But on the next deal around
You hear him say goodbye.
Love is a loser's game.
You may take a trick or two, but that's all you'll ever do.
Still you stay in the game, and you play through the pain.
There's no way to win, but you can't pack it in because
Love is a loser's game.
Love is a loser's game.
You may think you've got a good hand
But it'll slip through your fingers
Like the shifting sand.
Love is a loser's game.
