The name of the game,
It’s not about money,
It’s not about fame
You are what you are
That’s the name of the game
Hook your feelings up to a power station
Let your feelings broadcast across the nation, hey
Stand up!
Maybe a fool takes a fortune by chance
Maybe the world has lost its romance
But you’ve got to try to keep dancing
The dance of the hearts
The name of the game,
It’s not about money, not about fame
You are what you are
That’s the name of the game
It’s the name of the game
In love and emotion
The beat is the same
You are what you are
That’s the name of the game
I don’t need to be the king of the jungle
Or the queen of the hearts
Cause people try to take you and make you over
Into something you’re not
Stand up!
Tell your teacher tell your summer affair
The power is yours, the magic is there
It’s at your command
So don’t let it slip through your hands
The name of the game,
It’s not about money,
Not about fame
You are what you are
That’s the name of the game
Headlines, party lines,
The only sense it makes
Is that it takes all kinds
Old friends, no friends,
The dance of the heart never ends
The dance of the heart never ends, it never ends
It’s not about the money
It’s not about the fame
Material to the spiritual world
Stand up!
Maybe a fool makes a fortune by chance
Maybe the world has lost its romance
But you’ve got to keep on dancing
The dance of the hearts
Keep on dancing the dance of the hearts
The name of the game,
It’s not about money, not about fame
You are what you are
That’s the name of the game.
It’s the name of the game
In love and emotion,
Yet the beat is the same
You are what you are
That’s the name of the game
It’s the name of the game
In love and emotion,
Yet the beat is the same
You are what you are
That’s the name of the game
