[Verse 1]
Well, I thought I'd been a gambler, and I pegged my baby wrong
Worryin' about a nightmare, baby, it's been worryin' me too long
I'm just tryin' to tell you what's been on my mind

[Verse 2]
Well, you didn't even write me, and I didn't know how come
I sat around and wondered how could I be so awfully dumb
I had the blues so bad that it hurt my mind to talk

[Verse 3]
I thought you had run a game on me, I hope you understand
Now, everything is fine, and I would like to be your man
'Cause you never did a thing to let me down, it's true

[Verse 4]
Now, I've never loved a woman in the way that I love you
It was such a bad, bad scene when I thought that we were through
Well, I cried and I cried, and I ain't gonna cry no more
