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 
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied 
'Cause late at night I still need you just the same 
Just the same, yeah 
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 
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
