Suckered By Your Bluff

I found you gal		
And felt so grand.
I placed a bet			
And played my hand.
But I was suckered		
By your bluff,
‘Cause what you offered	
Wasn’t love.

I still remember,		
Way back when,
You upped the ante		
Once again.
The stakes were higher	
Than I knew.
I lost my soul			
When I won you.

I’m gonna dry		
My tears of you,
Then I’ll begin		
My life anew.
I’ll plug that hole		
Left in my heart
So I can find			
A brand new start.
I was so suckered		
By your bluff,
‘Cause what you offered	
Wasn’t love.

You had me fooled		
For a few years,
Then I woke up		
And drowned in beers.
Now clean and sober	
I can leave,
And I won’t even		
Stop to grieve.

I’m gonna dry		
My tears of you,
Then I’ll begin		
My life anew.
I’ll plug that hole		
Left in my heart
So I can find			
A brand new start.
I was so suckered		
By your bluff;
‘Cause what you offered	
Wasn’t love.
