I like to gamble
I play all night long
seven and eleven
never bring me home
now my baby's got complaints
there's no more water in the well
she may say she loves me
but I find it hard to tell

I went out last night
now I got a heavy head
I don't remember
what I did nor what I said
now my baby's got complaints
she wishes me to hell
she may say she loves me
but I find it hard to tell

I'm out of work
I'm livin' on the dole
the money for my habits
I got from her jewelry we sold
now my baby's got complaints
there's nothing left to sell
she may say she loves me
but I find it hard to tell

I woke up in a strange bed
i must've lost my head
I needed my own true love
I was feelin' pretty bad
now my baby's got complaints
she wishes me to hell
she may say she loves me
but I find it hard to tell
