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 youI 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 duesSay that happiness cannot be measured
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures
What a jokeI 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 yourselfI 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 duesGuess 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?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
