Lyrics Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte

Losing Hand

I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand

I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand

Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand

While I was playing fair baby you played a cheating game

While I was playing fair baby you played a cheating game

I know you don't care but I love you just the same

I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen

I thought I'd be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen

But you used me for your joker 'cause I thought you're deal was clean

The way you did me pretty baby I declare I never understand

The way you did me pretty baby I declare I never understand

I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
