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
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain
(Feel the pain)

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, a-ha

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 was 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

A-ha

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I was 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
Sure know something
No one can tell me till I hear it from you
And I sure know something
Sure know something
Yeah, yeah!
