In the game of love, it's bitter and it's sweet
And you wonder how something so beautiful
Can bring such agony
Let me tell you how it happened to me

Just reminiscing on the way I used to dream
Prince charming, slay the dragon, come and rescue me
So many things have changed but heartbreak feels the same
Well, my strength is what I found in the eye of a hurricane

And if somebody said it would never happen to me
After I realized, I still could be happy
So if the one I love never gave me love in return
Love's still alright with me, still alright with me

Be still, my heart, no one said there'll be days like this
Well, I made it this far, I see where the end is gonna be
I said, 'Chante, honey, gotta keep pressing on'
My peace I found in the eye of a hurricane

And if somebody said it would never happen to me
After I realized, I still could be happy
So if the one I love never gave me love in return
Love's still alright with me, still alright with me

We're supposed to love unselfishly
But somehow I find I'm crying myself to sleep, sometimes
Tell me who's at fault at taking care of me
It's me, myself and my heart and I
Somehow we find a way to try to love again

Yet when you lose, you tried but still you're playing a game, well
Just when you learn the rules, you learn the rules have changed
I'm never worried 'cause I know just who I am
When you live, you learn to be the same
Even without the name

And if somebody said it would never happen to me
After I realized, I still could be happy
So if the one I love never gave me love in return
Love's still alright with me, still alright with me

And if the sun don't shine, there's still a little light in my heart
And if the rain falls down, I can still look at love
So if the one I love never gave me love in return
Love's still alright with me, love's alright with me

Love is still alright, alright, alright with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
Love's still alright with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And if the sun don't shine, there's still a little light in my heart
And if the rain falls down, I can still look at love
So if the one I love never gave me love in return
Love's still alright with me, love's alright with me

Love is still alright, alright, alright with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
Love's still alright with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And if the sun don't shine, there's still a little light in my heart
And if the rain falls down, I can still look at love
So if the one I love never gave me love in return
Love's still alright with me
