VERSE 1
A
I never thought I'd need you
D
But now I find I'm wrong
E
Come on back sweet mama
A
Back where you belong
A
I've gambled over town
D
Find that I can't win
E
Come on back and
A
Pick me up again
CHORUS
E
Now if I lose (if I lose)
A
Let me lose (let me lose)
E
I don't care (I don't care)
A
How much I lose
A
If I lose a hundred dollars
D
While I'm trying to win a dime
E A
My baby she's got money all the time
VERSE 2
Of all the other girls I know
None can take your place
'Cause when I get into a jam
They just ain't in the race
So now that you're back dear
Le'ts make another round
With you here by my side babe
The deal just can't go down
(CHORUS)
