They say that gamblers always go for the loser
And when you're happy you fall for the clown
So why can't this beggar be a chooser
You always turn me down
I don't understand it yet
You let him push you around like that
When you know I would be glad to have
Such a beautiful lady
You put up with the things you do
I know the way he talks to you
Pain he couldn't put you through
If you were mine
They say that opposites attract one another
And if it goes wrong then you just blame yourself
So why won't you take me as a lover
Instead of somebody else?
I don't understand it yet
You let him treat you as dirt like that
You know he doesn't deserve to have
Such a beautiful lady
I know you lie awake at night
Crying till the morning light
But I could make you feel all right
If you were mine
Oh, if only you could see
That you're holding on to a dream
And you could do much worse
Than take a chance with me
They say that fortune always smiles on the trier
So either way you've got nothing to lose
Cos if it's a choice between the truth and a liar
I know what I'd choose
I don't understand it yet
You let him push you around like that
When you know I would be glad to have
Such a beautiful lady
You put up with the things you do
I know the way he talks to you
Pain he couldn't put you through
If you were mine
I don't understand it yet
You let him treat you as dirt like that
You know he doesn't deserve to have
Such a beautiful lady
I know you lie awake at night
Crying till the morning light
But I could make you feel all right
If you were mine
