Somebody told me to walk away
When love got hard and I had to play
But you know it's such a shame
Nobody knows how to play
This loving game

Sometimes we all seem to act like fools
But do we care who breaks the rules?
I suppose it's all the same
We never learn how to play
This loving game

Do I love you after so much
As I did before?
Darling I could hardly love you more

I tried to look for some good advice
Cos we all have to pay the price
But till now, you never came
I'll never know how to play
This loving game

Do I love you after s-much
As I used to do?
No one knows me half as well as you
Yeah, you know you do, you know you

Somebody told me to walk away
When love got hard and I had to play
But you know that it's still a shame
Nobody knows how to play
This loving game
Nobody knows how to play
This loving game
Nobody knows how to play
This loving game

I think Paul hides songs like these on B-sides because, in the early days, The Beatles would pick songs off the b-sides to play so no other bands would mess up their set. Maybe it's just a nod to the days when b-sides were awesome finds. He knows his fans will find the great songs any way we can!

[vitekmlejnek]

thank you very much!

[CulworthStreet]

When I saw only the title I thought it was just another version of "Your Loving Flame". But it isn't as we all can hear. Ooohhh, I LOVE IT!!! :D

[JulianLennon1]

..yet ANOTHER gem I find myself singing around the house..xox

[JulianLennon1]

@McLen194042 McLen I tend to agree with you - Back in the day when b-sides were worthy finds. Still a thrill to find b-sides on the computer outta the blue. Makes my day.

Go to rateyourmusic and search for user "mattymath" then find my "Macca Rarities" list.

[mattymath1]

I have a list of over 400 Macca rarities (that's right 400 and I'm only counting after the Beatles). Some of these are awesome

[LeDragonLXXVI]

Sh*t this is awesome... AWESOME!

[ejconnor]

Awesome, I had never heard this!

[PaulMcMartin]

Wow, probably his best ballad since My Love...?

By the way, some lyrics adjustments:

2nd line should be pay instead of play

and "Do I love you half as much..."

[Krarongthong]

Yes, This is absolutely awesome.

I'm glad finally "YesPaulRocks" provided the heart touching lyrics.

My book is complete today

Thanks so much

P.S. I can't listen to this song without tears ...flow
