She had the face of a heavenly angel
And a heart as pure as gold
And she needed me to believe in her
Touch the fire down in her soul
How could I be such a fool?
It's a cold fact that I'm right back
To the place where I swear that I'm gonna lose
I see the daylight turnin' dark, night
And it's comin' down like a ton of blues
A strong man can be tempted
A weak moment was my mistake
Now my whole world's like a bad dream
One slip is all it takes
How could I be such a fool?
It's a cold fact that I'm right back
To the place where I swear that I'm gonna lose
I see the daylight turnin' dark, night
And it's comin' down like a ton of blues
It's a foolish game that I play
And it's hell to pay the price
How could I throw it all away
With one toss of the dice?
How could I be such a fool?
It's a cold fact that I'm right back
To the place where I swear that I'm gonna lose
I see the daylight turnin' dark, night
And it's comin' down like a ton of blues
It's comin' down like a ton of blues
