Adele’s highly anticipated 30 albums will feature a final track titled “Love Is A Game,” set to release on November 19, 2021. In a recent interview with Vogue UK and Vogue US, Adele shared a preview of the seven-minute-long song with interviewers Giles Hattersley and Abby Aguirre. Hattersley described the track as a string-swirling, Garland-invoking, jazzy, campy, swooning delight, featuring a vocal for the ages. Adele shared that the song was recorded while Breakfast at Tiffany’s played on the television in the studio and that it serves as both the end song the movie should have had, as well as the perfect conclusion to her recent chapter.
Love Is A Game lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
That love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling again (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
[Verse 2]
How unbelievable (Unbelievable)
Of me to fall for the lies that I tell (Lies I tell)
The dream that I sell (Dream I sell)
When heartache, it’s inevitable (It’s inevitable)
But I’m no good at doing it well
Not that I care (I don’t care)
Why should anything about it be fair?
[Chorus]
When love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling again (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
[Bridge]
No amount of love
Can keep me satisfied (Satisfied, satisfied)
I can’t keep up (Can’t keep up, can’t keep up)
When I keep changing my mind (Change my mind, change my mind)
The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise
[Chorus]
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
Love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
To self-inflict that pain
[Outro]
Oh, you know I’d do it all again
I love it now like I loved it then
I’m a fool for them
You know I’m, you know I’m gonna do it, oh
I’ll do it all again like I did then
