|
Seems I've played the game for much too long
|
I let people buy my love and I
|
Never got to sing my songs for you.
|
|
I had all my bets laid all on you
|
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
|
In the game of love you pay your dues.
|
|
Say that happiness cannot be measured,
|
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.
|
What a joke.
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
I was not your woman, I was not your friend,
|
But you gave me something to remember.
|
No other man said love yourself
|
Nobody else can.
|
We weren't meant to be,
|
At least not in this lifetime,
|
But you gave me something to remember.
|
I hear you still say, Love yourself.
|
|
I had all my bets laid all on you
|
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
|
In the game of love I've paid my dues.
|
|
Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,
|
Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.
|
What a shame, who's to blame?
|
|
(chorus)
