I think I met a girl

Who likes to make me happy everyday

Then I bought a ring

To try and make her never go away



I bet there's half a million people

That feel the way I do

I don't have to drink a river now

Just to get on through



Then I lost a friend

A ruthless heart makes laughter slip away

I never took the time to think

About the senseless game we play



I bet there's half a million people

That feel the way I do

I don't have to drink a river now

Just to get on through



Then I lost the plot

And went and chased my sweetheart far away

Now I've realised

Life is not an easy game to play



I bet there's half a million people

That feel the way I do

I don't have to drink a river now

Just to get on through
