Madonna 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,

Bedtime Stories had already proven that Madonna had calmed down a bit after the raunchy Erotica period. With the release of Something to Remember she took it a step further and used her new-found serenity to release a collection of her best ballads. Several of the songs selected for Something to Remember came from movie soundtracks and some had not appeared on a Madonna album before.
