Lyrics
All your expectations of my love are impossible
Surely you know that I’m not easy to hold
It’s so sad how incapable of learning to grow I am
My heart speaks in puzzle and codes
I’ve been trying my whole life to solve
God only knows how I’ve cried
I can’t take another defeat
A next time would be the ending of me
Now that I see
That love is a game for fools to play
And I ain’t fooling
What a cruel thing
To self-inflict that pain
How unbelievable of me to fall
For the lies that I tell, the dream that I sell
When heartache it’s inevitable
But I’m no good at doing it well
Not that I care
Why should anything about it be fair
No amount of love can keep me satisfied
I can’t keep up when I keep changing my mind
The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise
#Adele #LoveIsAGame #30
The ending is my favorite part. The entire song she says love is a game and only fools play this game, but at the end she says "I'll do it all again". So freaking relatable.
SAME❤️
very true
Thanks for pointing that out Matt
Also in "Adele, one night only" says at the end: "I'll do it all again, like I did then, cuz I'm addicted, I'm addicted, you know, I'm gonna do it...again"
and this is the last song of the album, like after all the process she admitted she’ll do it all again HAUAHSUHS SHES A GENIUS
I freaking love this song. It was made for a Saturday night with a bottle of wine. I love you Adele. I'm so glad that your music and your beautiful voice are back.
Dont drink. No good
ME TOOOOOO!!!
We all are
yesss 🛐
You right 🍷
“What a cruel thing , to self inflict that pain” hits me every time
That part!😥
right? we know it will hurt but we need love anyway xD
Totally relatable!!.
The only bad thing about this song is that it ends.
AGREE
I play it on loop
Perfectly said
@@EllyB1104 that way it never ends! Love it
Tru dat
Can Adele give us a "classic oldies" Christmas song? 😭 Her voice is too perfect for that.
i wish to 💔
Uhh I'd soo looking forward if there's any! Like it'd boost my hype for Christmas ..

Yesss❤❤❤
RIP AMY WINEHOUSE!!! This would have been one hell of a collaboration. Adele and Amy came out around the same time and to see how far Adele came since then is incredible. This album ended perfectly
1. Easy on me 2. I drink wine 3. Oh my god 4. Love is a game (4 of my favorites)
To Be Loved not being on your list is a crime
I like all her songs but, one of her best one is this one Love is a game for fool's it's so true.
It’s like Adele doing an Amy Winehouse song that was never released 😭 I love it so much
Agreed, definitely getting Amy vibes with this one
💯
I hear it big time! 🧡🧡🧡
YES! Thought the same here about Amy!
Exactly😭😍

Yes
Within 5 minutes

Yaas! 👏
Meee
My brother introduced me this song last month...he died last week. Now im stuck listening to this song while grieving. Miss u little bro!
Courage à vous . Il restera dans votre cœur pour toujours . Toutes mes condoléances.
This has to be her best album yet, because even as a in passing casual listener I haven’t been able to stop replaying it since it dropped. I’m officially an Adele fan now. 😭
Ya somos dos o muchos
Me too🥰🥰🥰 I think this is her best album
The whole album is great but this song is going down in history as a masterpiece. It's unbelievable...
Agreed
So true!
Its quite a few songs from this album that will go down in history.
@@ladyschatze9159 Hold on for sure. My favorite.
i think this is the best song on the album! i love it.
I’m so obsessed with this song from the lyrics to the production. It’s giving me Amy Winehouse “Love Is A Losing Game” with Bee Gees background vocals. Old school sound. So timeless. BRAVO ADELE!!
It so reminded me of Amy's 'Love Is losing Game' too. Must be an influence I guess. Great song.
I thought exactly the same about Amy ❤❤❤
She always comes with such timeless and classic songs!!!
Exactly! This is a homage to Amy Winehouse. A song that Amy could have easily written and I wouldn't have know the difference. Thank you Adele, you're the only singer who could have emulated Amy like this song has done for me!
I thought exactly the same! I was just about to mention Amy's Love Is A Losing Game
Crying after so many failed loved attempts. It’s all so disappointing but this album, this song- I’m a fool for love and I’ll do it all again. Incredible finish to this album.
Great tribute to Amy Winehouse’s point: Love is a loosing game. Sublime song as always
Agreed
This is Adele's best record in years in my opinion. She is pouring all her emotions out for us to hear. She is a genius.
Her only record in years too lol
Perfect!!
Facts!
For 50 years old maybe
@@adamdaniel4681 if this song is for 50 year olds then i don't wanna be young!🤣🙏
Adele doesn't really disappoint us every time she sings, she's always perfect
kzhead.info/sun/mMehc9GjjINmrK8/bejne.html
For sure!!
kzhead.info/sun/eth7irB_hYitmmw/bejne.html
Nice
You're gay so it doesn't count
OMG, Adele is a beautiful amazing woman with a great and gorgeous voice.
The ending of this song proves that she's a genius when it comes to making meaningful art. A music that has a clear point and story. Yes, love is a game for fools to play but she's going to play this game again bc it's a super fun game. Just like all of us.
Adele took us to the highest point with "To Be Loved" and then landed the plane beautifully with "Love Is A Game". This album is brilliantly crafted. A true masterpiece.
Agreed! That's why I never shuffle the album!
Absolutely. She is beyond amazing
That's a beautiful way to put it ❣️
Fully agree. Both songs are always on repeat
Agreed.
I am speechless, I'm 17 now and listening to this, I know I'm going to be back here when I'm 20 and 30 and 50 and will be coming back till the end of my life, I grew up listening to you Adele and I will continue to do so, love you Adele
Same!! This is what my grandparents called their music back then, I’ll tell my grandkids this was my music!! 💕
SAME! Adele is my fav since my childhood
I’ve had this on repeat since it was released. No matter how hard I’ve tried to stop listening to this masterpiece, I simply cannot. I’m blown away by Adele, but this song, and 30… I have no words. Love you, Adele.
I can't stop listening as well
Me too
And the orchestra arrangement comes in and tighten the addictive grip!
I live in happy marriage but Adele always make me feel like I am going through hard break-up or divorce. You just feel it lol. I love her and that song is pure masterpiece
Same😅
Growing up with Adele since 19, this is exactly how I imagined a grown up Adele to sound.
kzhead.info/sun/l7mHnrVqoquohIE/bejne.html ⬆️ Enjoy the Masterpiece.
Sounds like a song for the ending of a classic film. Such a masterpiece. Welcome back, Adele. ❤️
My exact thought as soon as I heard it ❤
same lol, it sound like a song for ending...
It so does and it has a very 60’s sound It seems.
kzhead.info/sun/l7mHnrVqoquohIE/bejne.html ⬆️ Enjoy the Masterpiece.
Absolutely awesome GOD BLESS this woman and her talent 🙏
Min 6:06 got my tears down so bad!! Her voice breaking down was SOOOO POWERFUL 😭😭😭
So beautiful, she is the only pop star that's keeping old styles of pop alive. She's a gem for modern music. So rare
She's not alone - Bruno Mars with Sonic Silk ain't doing badly. Go girl.
Lana del ray does an amazing job at this as well
This song has such good vibes and is so transparent about one sided relationships. I applaud you for the wonderful comeback, welcome back Adele
I love how it sounds like it’s been out since the 60s, perfection.
kzhead.info/sun/l7mHnrVqoquohIE/bejne.html ⬆️ Enjoy the Masterpiece.
I KNOW RIGHT!!
It's very Burt Bacharach and Hal David
I can't tell u how much she as helped me through this horrendous break up. Her songs make me feel I am not on my own I have got her. I live day to day with her songs constantly playing through head phones. I cry sometimes but she gives me the strength to go on shes been there. Thank you darling so much xxx
Exactly!!
Anyone who doesn’t like Adele is NOT HUMAN!! She truly is the best
sure 🤣🤣🤣
One of the best songs ever written! This song is magical in so many ways!!!!!!!!!

Yooo
You just came to have as much like as you can.
An absolute masterpiece! Hearing old-school vibes (which brought me back to 50s' or somewhere near those times), beautiful instrumentals and deep and touching Adele's voice made me fall in love with this song from the very first seconds. One of Adele's best works for sure!
Her music is full of old school jazz and soul. I love that she introduce these genres to the young generation.
That 50's feel to it
So true
Yes, it’s very 50’s big band.
This definitely sounds like 60’s...
This is like the perfect ending to an album.
Who else is here after Adele's Carpool?
Life is too short to pretend you don't like Adele.
Its a shame she had to get hurt to write such a beautiful song and that's why we cry when we hear it...💔😭I LOVE ADELE! ❤️❤️
They say heartache makes the best songs and books
This how Mary J Blige did it. Heartbreak
So it is July BUT for some crazy reason this is a Christmas song for me. Listened to this masterpiece in December 2021. I thought this would be her next “someone like you” it was so good. Bless you all.
30 is confessional, conversational, a touch of jazz steeped in blues... effing brilliant! Love Is A Game breaks my heart - fav song!
this album is gonna be revolutionary to music!
I keep going back to this. Song of the Year for me. It’s giving Amy Winehouse vibes, another British artist that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
"...I'd do it all again." Perfect Ending! She would go through all those heartbreaks again. #NoRegrets.
Damn! This is smooth! Between Adele and Silk Sonic, it's starting to feel like the 70s are making a comeback.
Love Silk Sonic
And we all get to cry together to Adeles music now haha
Repórtense con mucho amor los fans latinos de la reina Adele. 💕
Presente 😭❤️❤️
Preseeeente😭😍♥️
Súper presente 😔😍
😍
5:00 wow 😮
If Amy Winehouse were here, I think it would be really nice to hear them duet this song
This song has been on my head since she performed it on “one night only” couldn’t wait for this day to come ! I love Adele so much !!! Been waiting for her music for years and years people tried to compare Lauren Daigle to her but no one will ever compare !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same here 🤗 to
Same lol would wake up singing this song. My Favorite on the Albun

I feel like I’m in disney with this instrumental 💕💕
The most underrated song from 30! It deserves more views and a high rank in music charts.
The problem it that is very very hard to increase views of a song with 6:44 minute
Hold on is on the same level
Such a beautiful song, the best of the album in my opinion. So many of you have said it has a 50-60’s flavour and indeed it has. This song has a special meaning for me as my father passed away last week, and we both had a difficult relationship since the begging of time. We were wounded in a crossfire of offenses and disappointments from both sides at different moments, but still beneath of all the grievances there was love. We both loose in the game of love. Love is not only for lovers. Thank you Adele for this!
Adore this jazz-70's retro festival sound. She is a genius

Imagine if Adele makes a Christmas album with music like this. 🎶🎄💿
Yes please. I would love versions of "Santa Baby", "Silver Bells", "Driving Home For Christmas" and all those 50s xmas songs from her
This is better for Christmas than that Mariah Carey. Christmas is depressing - get with it people.
Who else is listening to this and trying hard not to fall in love with that someone you know is gonna break your heart 😭😭😭😭😭😭
At first listen this became already my favourite. It's got a little bit of Billie, little bit of Amy and a lot of Philly Soul. Still so sophisticated and unmistakenly Adele. Love it.
my favorite too!
Definately soul music. Sounds like from the 70's. She loves that early Motown sound.
Yes a bit of Amy defo 👍
Gave me "midnight train to georgia" vibes by gladys knight

GRACIAS ADELE 🥺✨
I don't usually listen to Adele, but when my dog passed on a few days ago and I came to the realization that my best friends are moving to a whole other continent, my family suddenly created so many problems.... I can't stop listening to her, I even hear her in my head, idk what it is about adele, but I just feel completely comfortable crying to her songs alone. I really hope that Great things will turn my way soon, idk how much more pain I can take...
This woman deserves a few Grammys for this album…so true to herself and relatable for so many…we are proud of u Adele👌❤️

I knew this was going to be my fave after hearing it from her CBS special. An absolute masterpiece.
Same!
wasn't her live performance amazing! i hope she wins an emmie for that
This is the level Adele is capable for every song but tends to hold back her vocals for the final one to blow you away, best album she’s put out.
Aqui los que somos adictos a esta canción
R&B Adele, is what we have needed, her voice is soulful and she sounds like a black blues singer, amazing
Yes
Blue -eyed soul
kzhead.info/sun/l7mHnrVqoquohIE/bejne.html ⬆️ Enjoy the Masterpiece.
It’s more soul/jazz than R&B. All night parking has that R&B vibe though
Officially, this is my favourite song of 30 🤍 The orchestra, the bass line, the lyrics, the choruses, and of course the majestic voice of Adele... All of it it's just perfect in this song.
I have the sensation that I'm hearing a slightly different more slowly version from the version I first heard, am I the only one?
I must say = That l don't know if Ms. Adele may be oblivious to the fact that there are many fan's that have come to the conclusion. For! If you listen to the late and great Amy Winehouse (love is a losing game) and then you listen to Ms. Adele's (Love is a game) you will hear a lot of similarity. For! Both song's are very melancholy they will take you back to happy times and maybe even sad times. But! Whatever time it is it's about time she wrote this beautiful and haunting and seductive song thank you dearest: Adele long live the Queen.🇬🇧🎤🎆 ...
6 years of waiting this Album and it was worth it
"Love is a game for fools to play and I ain't a fooling again" best part
A perfectly stylized song! First I thought it's a cover but it turns out that Adele is back with her versatility as an artist. Keep my fingers crossed. Dear Adele, I hope you have a baby with the man you love, you have a nice wedding, and your next album is much less melancholic than this one. Start singing about planting flowers, taking kids to school, baking, working, travelling, etc. I'm sure with your talent these things will shine with new light!
:) have a dobry dzień
she is an old hollywood soul: so classy, so elegant, so talented...
This song is the one that most reflects my life today. Thank you, Adele, for giving me a little of your Magic.
This is why you don't pump out a new record every year.
Sitting in front of a coal fire on a fluffy rug on a snowy xmas night drinking a glass of wine reminiscing of the love of my life kinda vibe 😢
This is what you call TALENT. What a singer, songwriter and musician. AMAZING Adele 🇬🇧💖🇬🇧
ART.

This IS literal art! Have a great day!
Adele = Legend!! The first no skip album of 2021
that’s a fact
I couldn’t agree more
🎤 Hold up, Imma let you finish but Montero exists 🤌🏾🥴😅
I agree but also Planet HER exist
Nobody is listening exists
I’m really surprised and happy that she did this song on the final carpool karaoke…potential single?
Lovin you sooo much! The BEST Adele
My dad and I have been spending all afternoon listening to Adele’s stuff and he says this is his favourite song from 30 (he’s a total jazz nerd if anyone’s wondering 😂)
I feel honoured 🎖
Reading this song's title and listening also to the other songs that are part of 30 I can't help but think about Amy. I don't know if this was intentional from Adele, but I believe that Amy would be proud of her❤️
kzhead.info/sun/l7mHnrVqoquohIE/bejne.html ⬆️ Enjoy the Masterpiece. .
Yeah, Amy's one of her biggest inspirations
Amazing..beautfiul..voice..
Such a perfect final track
30 is the one. 30 is literally a MASTERPIECE. 😩❤️😩❤️
The melody screams "this is life, and whatever happen, happens, and I'll always be grateful"
I’m a 60 year old brotha and I approve this soul music. Damn girl!
Brilliant.. just brilliant. I’m not even going to rave about her vocals.. no doubt untouchable. In my opinion Adele is one of the best writers of all time! Her ability to draw your soul in with lyrics is an amazing gift alone not to mention her honey toned vocals.. how many other males out there are not afraid to admit they are an Adele fan!
i ain't afraid to admit that im a huge fan of hers cause there ain't nobody that can even come close to her shes in a league of her own and shes the artist that only comes around once in a lifetime, i hope everyone knows how lucky they are that we get to witness her greatness and basically watched her grow up through her music and i doubt there will be anyone that can come close to her in my lifetime.
@@jinxed408 I actually think there might be two in a lifetime. But I'm probably older than you. Laura Nyro brought me to my knees in the 20th century. Adele in the 21st century. But your point is well taken.
I definitely am an Adele fan. Millions of female artists I love as much as male artists. I love music
Right here i ain’t afraid 🙌🏽❤️… I’m a huge fan
That would be mariah carey
This song deserves a Grammy
trust me, she’s SWEEPING the grammys
@@hg-fo6ib may Lord hear you. Because she really deserves
It feels like Christmas is coming. And these songs are absolutely perfect for the X'mas playlist
The best song of thé album
The album is gold standard masterpiece
this album is simply INCREDIBLE!!! adele has finally blown 21 and 19 out of the water, and far surpassed the mediocrity of 25! 30 is full of heartfelt lyrics, slick production and the best vocals of her career. 4 years of rest after vocal surgery has done her voice the world of good. she's so clear, resonant, agile and powerful! i hope she's able to maintain it with all the upcoming live performances. thank you for bearing your soul and heart with us, adele. your growth has been a joy to witness, this album is a gift, it's gonna help so many people!!! :')
To each their own but for me its not anywhere near as great as 21 and 25, still good though.
@@BlindWatchMakers exactly
@@BlindWatchMakers 25 is awful. 30 is waaaay better.
I agree with you 100%. An Absolutely Amazing Album
30 is way better than 25 (With a few exceptions). Don’t get me wrong, 25 is good but I feel like with 25 she steered away from her roots.I feel like it’s her best album since 21!🥰❤️
"Love is a Game" is like the world just ended and this is playing in the background.
This song makes me a heroine in a romantic movie in Paris' street
6:05-6:43 is Adele's best work yet! Nothing but 60's American Soul Music.
This is sooo reminiscent of old school Motown R&B. I love this one.
Exactly what I thought when I first heard this song. It’s so familiar in the best way.
I hear so much Aretha in this and "Hold On". i just love being reminded of those old artists i love
This is such a Christmas Season song. With me alone in my living room, sitting on the couch with red wine, looking at the fireplace.
This song coupled with your scenario gives me heartbreak On Christmas vibes.
her entire album is so Christmas heartbreak season. I can't wait to listen to her entire album again during the winter months and watch the snow fall, and the winter sunsets.
How the fuck is this her worst 30 song on Apple Music it’s the best one
I was afraid the album would drag on for way too long, judging by the song lenths. And this song just flies by.
