Nature Of The Game Lyrics

Words and music by Christopher Cross

Taking my time
Walking the line
For someone who doesn't care
Taking my time
Just walking the line
For someone who's never there

It's a fool's game--that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change 
It's the nature of the game

She loves me--she loves me not
Remember how your heart used to stop
As the petals would hit the floor
How you wished there could be just one more
