Lyrics
All your expectations of my love are impossible
Surely you know that I’m not easy to hold
It’s so sad how incapable of learning to grow I am
My heart speaks in puzzle and codes
I’ve been trying my whole life to solve
God only knows how I’ve cried
I can’t take another defeat
A next time would be the ending of me
Now that I see
That love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling
What a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
How unbelievable of me to fall
For the lies that I tell, the dream that I sell
When heartache it’s inevitable
But I’m no good at doing it well
Not that I care
Why should anything about it be fair
No amount of love can keep me satisfied
I can’t keep up when I keep changing my mind
The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise
#Adele #LoveIsAGame #30

The ending is my favorite part. The entire song she says love is a game and only fools play this game, but at the end she says "I'll do it all again". So freaking relatable.

[@spicysizzling1600]

Thanks for pointing that out Matt

Also in "Adele, one night only" says at the end: "I'll do it all again, like I did then, cuz I'm addicted, I'm addicted, you know, I'm gonna do it...again"

and this is the last song of the album, like after all the process she admitted she’ll do it all again HAUAHSUHS SHES A GENIUS

Such a beautiful song, the best of the album in my opinion. So many of you have said it has a 50-60’s flavour and indeed it has. This song has a special meaning for me as my father passed away last week, and we both had a difficult relationship since the begging of time. We were wounded in a crossfire of offenses and disappointments from both sides at different moments, but still beneath of all the grievances there was love. We both loose in the game of love. Love is not only for lovers. Thank you Adele for this!

I must say = That l don't know if Ms. Adele may be oblivious to the fact that there are many fan's that have come to the conclusion. For! If you listen to the late and great Amy Winehouse (love is a losing game) and then you listen to Ms. Adele's (Love is a game) you will hear a lot of similarity. For! Both song's are very melancholy they will take you back to happy times and maybe even sad times. But! Whatever time it is it's about time she wrote this beautiful and haunting and seductive song thank you dearest: Adele long live the Queen.🇬🇧🎤🎆 ...
