If I slipped away Maybe nobody'd notice You'd probably say It's just one of those things With a little dismay And a shrug of the shoulders You'd buy a coat Against the cold Love ... has left the arena Love ... has left the arena One day I'm here The next I vanish It seems severe But you carry on It's not the end of the world There are compensations Maybe it's money Maybe it's drugs Love ... has left the arena Love ... has left the arena This world is spectacular With many diversions You can ski down a mountain In a dayglo suit You can build up an empire You can be a conquistador And when you've won What'll you do? Oh If love ... has left the arena Love ... has left the arena Da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da
