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
  
  I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
  And I sure know something, sure know something
  You showed me things they never taught me in 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, aha
  
  I was seventeen, you were just a dream
  I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside
  You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain
  
  I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
  I've been starry eyed, never satisfied
  'Cause late at night I still need you just the same
  Just the same
  
  I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
  And I sure know something, sure know something
  You showed me things they never taught me in 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, aha
  
  I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt

  No one can make me feel the way that you do
  And I sure know something, sure know something
  No one can tell me till I hear it from you
  And I sure know something, sure know something
  I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool
  Sure know something, sure know something
  You showed me things they never taught me in school
  Sure know something, sure know something
  No one can make me feel the way that you do
