|
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 you pay your 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? |
