Solved: 80s Song that sounds like Trivial Pursuit

Hi,

I have been looking for the name of an 80s song for what it seems to be forever. The problem is that although I can speak English, and have fluid conversations with my American friends, my native language is Spanish. Sometimes I have trouble understanding the words on some songs. And that's the problem I have with this one song I need for my 80s music collection.

The parts I DO understand go something like this:

*what is this game you play...
*no matter what you do I'm gonna get the jump on you
*gonna make some moves...

And the chorus (which drives me crazy, as I can't make out what they are really saying), sounds like:

*TRIVIAL PURSUIT!

Even though they say "TRIVIAL PURSUIT" a thousand times during the song... I just can't understand what they are really saying!!! It's so frustrating!!

HELP ME PLEASE!! I'm going MAD!!!

Thanks in advance!

PETER BROWN LOVE IS JUST THE GAME LYRICS

Who sits at home all alone waiting for you to call?
and what is the power that keeps him by the telephone?
and why do you string him along, singing your siren song?
and why does he listen, how can he let this game go on?

I´m just a trivial pursuit
love is just a game to you
and you never want to let romance begin
cause I´m gonna make some moves,
I´m gonna get the jump on you
I´m not gonna play unless you let me win

I´m just a trivial pursuit
love is just a game to you
and I´m gonna win no matter what to do
cause I´m gonna make some moves
I´m gonna get the jump on you
and I´m not gonna be a trivial pursuit

why does he let this go on
chances have come and gone
and what is the magic
that keeps him hangin on so long?
and why do treat him this way
what is this game you play...

and why does he follow,
how long will he go on this way?

I´m in a trivial pursuit
love is just a game to you
and you never want to let romance begin
cause I´m gonna make some moves
I´m gonna get the jump on you
I´m not gonna play unless you let me win

I´m in a trivial pursuit
love is just a game to you
and I´m gonna win no matter what to do
cause I´m gonna make some moves
I´m gonna get the jump on you
and I´m not gonna be a trivial pursuit

trivial pursuit, trivial pursuit...

Ha Ha!! Thank you! It's been a long time since I posted but I never found the lyrics to the song. This is really appreciated.
