I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me
Well, I'm just a slave unto the night

Remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me?
Remember when I broke you down to tears?
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams
Would I come runnin' home to you
I've told a million lies, but now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do

Remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me?
Remember when I broke you down to tears?
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I can't sleep tonight
I can't sleep tonight
(I bet my life on you)
That's just the thing I do
I can't sleep tonight
I can't sleep tonight, –ight, –ight
That's just the thing I do

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
