| 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) |
