[Chorus 1]
Somebody told me to walk away
When love got hard and I had to pay
But you know it’s such a shame
Nobody knows how to play this loving game

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes we all seem to act like fools
But do we care if we break the rules?
But I suppose it’s all the same
We never learn how to play this loving game

[Bridge]
Do I love you half as much
As I did before?
Darling, I could hardly love you more

[Chorus 3]
I tried to look for some good advice
'Cause we all have to pay the price
But 'til now, it never came
I’ll never know how to play this loving game

[Bridge]
Do I love you half as much
As I used to do?
No one knows me half as well as you
Yeah, you know you do, you know you

[Chorus 1]
Somebody told me to walk away
When love got hard and I had to pay
But you know that it’s still a shame
Nobody knows how to play this loving game

[Outro]
Nobody knows how to play this loving game
Nobody knows how to play this loving game

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
