I can't live it down I've been called a rambler 'Cause I keep my eyes on that horizon line And I've been called a gambler 'Cause I always wanna let my winnings ride I've been broke more times than I can count I've been stuck for days in a lonely town

Lose yourself from playing games Why don't you lose yourself for me So why don't you lose yourself for me What is it that your eyes don't see Ho ho ho hoo Ho ho hoo hoo There's a life outside I didn't know Tied up, falling down to an empty soul And lord

The shadow of your smile When you have gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes my love and see All the lovely things you are to me Our wistful little star It was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips

Wipe it off your sleeve Your superiority Don't roll your eyes my sweet We're just the same We all get desperate sometimes Feeling black and blue I know you'll find it hard To accept it sometimes We all feel black and we feel blue
