I've been into love before, and I know all about the pain
I know all the little lies and all the crazy games
I don't think that love's a game that no one can ever win
But it's so hard picking up my heart and starting all over again
But I remember what my mama said, she said, boy, don't let it go to your head
Every time you walk away, you're one step closer to love
Now my heart's been acting crazy every time you walk my way
My mind's been working overtime, trying to find something clever to say
I'd given up on love, I thought it never would happen for me
But you put a spark back in my heart, and I'm ready to start again
You got me feeling like the first time, thought it never would happen again
Every time I look away, I'm one step closer to love
You might not win at love the first time, but you learn more about the game
Every time you walk away, you're one step closer to love
Uh-huh, you're one step closer to love
You're one step closer to love
Uh-huh, you're one step closer to love
