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
But late at night I still want you
Just the same

CHORUS

I've been a gambler but I'm nobodies fool
And I sure know something (sure know something)
You showed me things they never told me at 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, a-haaa

I was seventeen,
You were just a dream
I was mesmerized
I felt scared inside
You broke my heart
And still can
Feel the pain

I've been carried out
I've had fear and doubt
Up in stormy night
Never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need you
Just the same

CHORUS

I've been a gambler but I'm nobodies fool
And I sure know something (sure know something)
You showed me things they never told me at 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, a-haaa

Aaaa, aaa, aaa
Aaaa, aaa, aaa
Aaaa, aaa, aaa
Aa, aa, aa

I've been carried out
I've had fear and doubt
I'v been starry eyed
Never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need you
Just the same

CHORUS x 2

I've been a gambler but I'm nobodies fool
And I sure know something (sure know something)
You showed me things they never told me at 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, a-haaa
