Why don't you love me the way that you should?
The way that you do me don't do me no good
I should forget you, I would if I could
But I can't

If this is a game then tell me the rules
All that we're playing is Jerry Lee ball blue
You don't care about me, I love you anyway

It's a love game and I'm fallin' b'hind
A bad way, too close to the line
It's a crying shame, but I'm a-losing m-my mind over you

Now, time after time I say it's the end
And I swear that I'll never go through that again
But who am I kidding? Darlin', I'd take you back anytime
So, laughing and crying, it's all the same
I guess that's just all part of love's cheating game
My eyes are open, but woman, who am I to blame?

Oh god, it's a love game, I'm fallin' behind
A bad a-way, too close to the line
It's a crying shame, but I'm a-losin' ma-my mind over you (don't you hear me, girl?)

It's a love game and I'm falling behind
A bad way, too close to the line
It's a crying shame, but I'm losing a-my mind over you (losing my mind over you)
Play it son, play it

I might get 'er back, yet

One more time!
It's a love game, I'm falling behind
Just a bad bad bad bad way, too close a-to the line
A crying shame, but I'm losing my mind over you (losing my mind over you)

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
