I lost my heart in a moment of madness
Took a chance on romance with you
But you roll your dice as cold as ice
Lady luck's got nothing on you
It's too bad I'm all out of luck again
You deal your cards under the table
Never giving nothing away
You're the black queen of hearts
Tearing me apart
Cheating on me night and day
It's too bad I'm all outta luck again
Some body throw me a life preserver
'Cos' I'm going down with a cry for love
Cry for love
I'm outta luck and you're no lady
This game of love ain't treating me right
So pour another shot, double what you got
Get me drunk as a skunk tonight
It's too bad I'm all outta luck again
Somebody throw me a life preserver
'Cos' I'm going down with a cry for love
I can't run, I can't hide
Always on the losing side
Can't you see me
Can't you hear a cry for love
(2x)
A cry for love
Somebody throw me a life preserver
Get me off shaky ground
Call off the dogs that hound me
'Cos' I'm going down with a cry for love
A cry for love
With a cry for love
Cry for love
Cry. Cry, cry, cry for love (5x)
