[Verse 1]
I've been up and down, I've been all around
I was mystified, almost terrified
But late at night I still hear you call my name
I've been on my own, I've been all alone
I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed
You broke my heart and I still can't feel the pain (Feel the pain)

[Chorus]
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha

[Verse 2]
I was seventeen, you were just a dream
I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain
I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
Because late at night I still need you just the same (Just the same)
Hey

[Chorus]
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
And I sure know something, aha
[Solo]
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh

[Verse 3]
I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I was starry eyed, never satisfied
But late at night I still need you just the same (Just the same)

[Chorus]
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
And I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school
And I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do
Sure know something, sure know something
No one can tell me 'til I hear it from you
Sure know something, sure know something (Yeah, yeah)
