HARRY BELAFONTE
"Losing Hand"
(Charles Calhoun)

I gambled on your love, baby, and got a losing hand
I gambled on your love, baby, and got a losing hand
Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand

While I was playing fair, baby, you played a cheating game
While I was playing fair, baby, you played a cheating game
I know you don't care but I love you just the same

I thought I'd be your king, baby, yes and you could be my queen
I thought I'd be your king, baby, yes and you could be my queen
But you used me for your joker 'cause I thought you're deal was clean

The way you did me pretty, baby, I declare I never understand
The way you did me pretty, baby, I declare I never understand
I gambled on your love, baby, and got a losing hand
