Lyrics for Gambler's Blues

I don't know what love is, but I think I must have it bad Yeah, you I don't know what love is, people, whoah, but I think I must have it bad Yeah, you know some people say love is just a gamble, but whatever it is, it's enough to drive old me mad They say love is just a proposition, people. It's strictly a game of give and take Yeah, they tell me love, love, love is a proposition, people, they say it's strictly a game of give and take Whoah, but my woman took all I gave her and I'm here to tell to you that love proposition stuff 's a fake Oh, I don't claim to be no gambler people, oh, I don't know much about the dice Yes, I don't claim to be no gambler people, I tell you I don't know much about the dice Oh, but I wait and my baby knows, she knows I'm not the kind who's gonna crap out twice Yes, she left me early this mornin', I don't know the reason why She just got up early this mornin', didn't even say good-bye But I love you, I love you, you know I love you baby, although you made me cry Yes, there are a lot of women who love me, oh, but how you satisfy
