I don't know what love is
But i think i must have it bad
Yeah, you know i don't know what love is people
Whoah, but i think i must have it bad
Yeah, you know some people say love is just a gamble
But whatever it is, it's enough to drive old b. mad
They say love is just a proposition people
It's strictly a game of give and take
Yeah, they tell me love, love, love is a proposition people
They say it's strictly a game of give and take
Whoah, but my woman took all i gave her
And i'm here to tell to you that love proposition stuff's a fake
Oh, i don't claim to be no gambler people
Oh, i don't' know much about the dice
Yes, i don't claim to be no gambler people
I tell you i don't know much about the dice
Oh, but i wait and my baby knows
She knows i'm not the kind who's gonna crap out twice
Yes, she left me early this mornin'
I don't know the reason why
She just got up early this mornin'
Didn't even say good-bye
But i love you, i love you, you know i love you baby
Although you made me cry
Yes, there are a lot of women who want me
Oh, but how you satisfy
