Maybe I'm just a loser

Whose will is none too strong

But I don't want to lose her

Even if my choice is wrong

I've been used to all the heartache

The jealousy and pain

So I'm well aware of what it takes

To win her back again.


I played a fool for her smile

I found a groove in her style

I hung on every word that she said but

She was living up inside my head

And I better think this whole thing through

For awhile


I'm not one to gamble

But in love my rules slide

When my heart starts to ramble


I just hang on for the ride

I've sought advice from all of my friends

I've even read a million books

But all those good intentions and

When she gives me that come-on look


I played a fool for her smile

I found a groove in her style

I hung on every word that she said but

She was living up inside my head

And I better think this whole thing through

For awhile


I could go on in misery

But this feeling just won't die

She's healing on delivery

I have to give her one more try

It's really time to figure out

If this love we have is real and

Let's find out what it's all about and

Give the old cards one more deal


I played a fool for her smile

I found a groove in her style

I hung on every word that she said

But she was living up inside my head

And I better think this whole thing through

For awhile
