M.I.A. - Something To Remember

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)
