I have never believed those words "What you want in life comes easy" If it's easy, it's no good Life can be just like chopping wood The situation for everyone might be different But I know in common There's a feeling we all share There's no boundaries Only the air lies in between And if it's love you want You gotta give to be given to And if there's one you want You're gonna need to be needed too No matter who you are Wherever you may go That's the rule of the game Take or leave it baby come or go Rule of the game That's the only thing you need to know I look around me and realize that In my life I've been quite lucky But I've gambled on the line And played some blackjack with father time The cards he dealt me gave me the chance And it may be just temporary Don't you let yourself forget What's to come will be better yet If you follow the rules And if it's love you want You gotta give to be given to And if there's one you want You're gonna need to be needed too No matter who you are Wherever you may go That's the rule of the game Take or leave it baby come or go Rule of the game That's the only thing you need to know Rule of the game Take or leave it baby come or go Rule of the game And if it's love you want You gotta give to be given to And if there's one you want You're gonna need to be needed too No matter who you are Wherever you may go That's the rule of the game Take or leave it baby come or go Rule of the game That's the only thing you need to know
