INTRO
VERSE 1
I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong
Come on back sweet mama
Back where you belong
I've gambled over town
Find that I can't win
Come on back and
Pick me up again
CHORUS
Now if I lose (if I lose)
Let me lose (let me lose)
I don't care (I don't care)
How much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars
While I'm trying to win a dime
My baby she's got money all the time
VERSE 2
Of all the other girls I know
None can take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So now that you're back dear
Le'ts make another round
With you here by my side babe
The deal just can't go down
(CHORUS)
