Once I loved a woman Once we shared a name But the tide pulled us under And now we can't get up again Well I wish someone had told me You're gonna sink before you swim You may take a couple of rounds But the house always wins I thought our love would last forever We would raise a family But the cards were dealt against us It was never meant to be When love walks out and leaves you Loneliness steps in
You make take a couple of rounds But the house always wins Whoa oh yeah When I sat down at the table I was a younger man I thought I had the whole world Wrapped up in my hands I wish someone had told me You're gonna pay for all your sins You can take a couple of rounds You can take a couple of rounds You may take a couple of rounds But the house whoh oh the house always wins
