Valentines love song game The objective of the game is to collect four love songs in the category that your team represents (e.g. the Lonely Hearts team is collecting Beatles songs). For each song the team collects, they are given a love token (a fish). Each team calls out a number from the grid and the game master, St Valentine, reports which category that number is in. If it is the right category for that team, a verse from the love song that matches that number will be read out by an assigned reader and all teams should cross out that number on their grid so they don t choose it again by mistake. If the category is wrong for the team that chose the number, no verse is read out and it is the next team s turn. Teams are also advised to circle any number called out by another team if it actually belongs to your category, so you can call it out when it is your turn. The first team to get four love tokens is the winner of the game, and the game is over when all teams have their tokens and all verses have been read.

**************** DANCING QUEENS **************** I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do (ABBA) Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me I love you I do, I do, I do, I do, I do I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it? Don't you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do Waterloo (ABBA) My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight And how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose Waterloo - couldn't escape if I wanted to Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you Waterloo - finally facing my Waterloo Lay All Your Love On Me (ABBA) I wasn't jealous before we met Now every woman I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Two For The Price Of One album: The Visitors (1981) I can't forget what I read: If you dream of the girl for you Then call us and get two, for the price of one I called the number and a voice said, "Alice Whiting" The voice was husky and it sounded quite exciting I said, I read your ad, it sounded rather thrilling I think a meeting could be mutually fulfilling Why don't we meet for a chat The three of us in my flat? She said, "I'm sure we must be perfect for each other And if you doubt it you'll be certain when you meet my mother" (ABBA)
**************** LONELY HEARTS **************** Hey Jude (The Beatles) Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let me into your heart, Then we can start to make it better. All My Loving (The Beatles) I'll pretend that I'm kissing The lips I am missing And hope that my dreams will come true And then while I'm away I'll write home every day And I'll send all my loving to you I Need You (The Beatles) I don't need a lot of things, I can get by with nothing With all the blessings life can bring, I've always needed something But I've got all I want when it comes to loving you You're my only reason, you're my only truth I need you like water, like breath, like rain I need you like mercy from heaven's gate When I m Sixty-Four (The Beatles) I could be handy, mending a fuse When your lights have gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday mornings go for a ride Doing the garden, digging the weeds Who could ask for more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four?
**************** CUPID S BOW **************** Time After Time (Margaret Whiting) Time after time I tell myself that I'm so lucky to be loving you. So lucky to be the one you run to see in the evening, when the day is through. I only know what I know the passing years will show you've kept my love so young, so new. And time after time you'll hear me say that I'm so lucky to be loving you. All of Me (John Legend) How many times do I have to tell you even when you re crying you re beautiful too? The world is beating you down, I m around through every mood. You re my downfall, you re my muse, my worst distraction, my rhythm and blues. I can t stop singing, it s ringing, in my head for you. My head s under water but I m breathing fine. You re crazy and I m out of my mind! Cause all of me loves all of you. Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections. Give your all to me, I ll give my all to you, you're my end and my beginning, even when I lose I m winning. 'Cause I give you all of me and you give me all of you. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack) The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and endless skies, my love To the dark and empty skies Napoleon to Josephine (Colin Curzon) Though I have an admiration for your charming resignation (there appears no limitation to your constant animation) And deep appreciation of your warm cooperation, And I find a consolation in the pleasing contemplation Of a coy anticipation quite beyond articulation. Yet forgive the implication if I plead disinclination For the sweet exhilaration of a brief amalgamation. I ll tell you in a phrase, my sweet, exactly what I mean - Not tonight Josephine!
**************** ONE NIGHT STANDS **************** I ll Be Your Baby Tonight Close your eyes, close the door You don't have to worry any more I'll be your baby tonight Kick your shoes off, do not fear, Bring that bottle over here. I'll be your baby tonight. (Bob Dylan) Light My Fire You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you Girl, we couldn't get much higher Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire (The Doors) Let s Spend the Night Together This doesn't happen to me everyday No excuses offered anyway I'll satisfy your every need And I now know you will satisfy me Let's spend the night together Now... (Rolling Stones) Two out of Three Ain't Bad (Meatloaf - 1) And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you (I want you), I need you (I need you), But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad (don't be sad) 'Cause two out of three ain't bad
**************** TRANSPORTED BY LOVE **************** Brand New Key (Melanie) Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key I think that we should get together and try them out, you see I been looking around awhile, you got something for me Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key If You Were A Sailboat (Katie Melua) If you were a cowboy I would trail you, If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor. If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore. If you were a river I would swim you, If you were a house I would live in you all my days. If you were a preacher I'd begin to change my ways. Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two) (Harry Dacre, 1892) Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do I'm half crazy all for the love of you It won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle built for two Fly Me to the Moon (Frank Sinatra) Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars In other words, please be true In other words, I love you
**************** SECRET ADMIRERS **************** Your Song (Elton John) Excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen I'd Lie for You and That's the Truth (Meatloaf - 2) I'd lie for you and that's the truth Move mountains if you want me to I'd walk across the fire for you I'd walk on the wild for you If you'd just believe in me Falling in Love Again (Marlene Dietrich) Falling in love again Never wanted to What am I to do? I can't help it Love's always been my game Play it how I may I was made that way I can't help it Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis) Wise men say only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? Like a river flows, surely to the sea Darling, so it goes - some things are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life, too For I can't help falling in love with you
