Losing Hand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I gambled on your love, babe,
Yes and got a losing hand.
I gambled on your love, baby,
Yes and got a losing hand.
Your ways keep changing
Like the shifting desert sand.
While I was playing fair, baby,
Well you played a cheating game.
While I was playing fair, baby,
Yes you played a cheating game.
Knew you didn't care, baby,
But I loved you just the same.
Thought I'd be your king, baby,
Yes and you could be my queen.
I thought I'd be your king, baby,
Yes and you would be my queen.
You used me for your joker
Because I thought your deal was clean.
The way you did me, baby,
I declare I'll never understand.
The way you did me, baby,
I declare I'll never understand.
I gambled on your love, baby,
And got a losing hand.
