One day when I was out walking
I heard a bird up in the tree
Suddenly, he started talking
And this is what he said to me

I'm starting to see your ass out here everyday now
You're looking for something, don't you?
Just put your heart-shaped glasses on, boy
And something will come looking for you too

And let love run the game
Let love run the game
Or you won't get too far
You gotta let love run the game

If you'd ever find yourself astray
Or ever lose the lust to play
I'd say for a while, stay off the highway
And hear what the birdies have to say

One day when I was out walking
I heard a bird up in the tree
Suddenly, he started talking
He was talking down to me
Talking down to me

You gotta let love run the game
You gotta let love run the game
Or you won't get too far, yeah
You gotta let love run the game

You gotta let love run the game, yeah
You gotta let love run the game
Or you won't get too far
You gotta let love run the game
