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 can not be measured and a little pain can bring you all life s little pleasures what a joke 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 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
