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 told me at 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 carried out
I've had fear and doubt
Up in stormy night
Never satisfied
'Cause late at night I still need 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 told me at 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've been carried 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

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 told me at 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
