Madonna - Something To Remember lyrics

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)
