Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
[Chorus]
So come on, baby, let's start today
Come on, baby, let's play
The game of
Love, love
Love, love
La-la-la-la-la-love
[Verse 2]
It started long ago in the Garden of Eden
When-a Adam said to Eve, "Baby, you're for me"
[Chorus]
So come on, baby, let's start today
Come on, baby, let's play
The game of
Love, love
Love, love
La-la-la-la-la-love (Oh-ooh!)
[Bridge]
Come on, baby, 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
[Verse 3]
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
[Chorus]
So come on, baby, let's start today
Come on, baby, let's play
The game of
Love, love
Love, love
La-la-la-la-la-love
[Bridge]
Yeah (Oh, yeah)
Whoa, yeah (Oh, yeah)
Well, come on, baby, 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
[Verse 4]
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
[Chorus]
So come on, baby, let's start today
Come on, baby, let's play
The game of
Love, love
Love, love
La-la-la-la-la-love
[Outro]
The game of love, baby
The game of la-la-la-la-love
The game of love, baby
The game of la-la-la-la-love
The game of love, baby
