"What You Bet" — the blues man wagering on certainty.
Someday i'll be gone
Believe me, it won't be long
When i leave you it's gonna grieve you
What you bet
You're abusing of our romance
I'm warning you in advance
You're gonna cry when i say bye bye
What you bet, what you bet
I smiled when you mistreated me
My friends called me a fool
I firmly believe where love is concerned
You've broken every rule
Oh, you got a good thing in me
You're gonna lose me, wait and see
You won't wake up until we break up
What you bet, what you bet
Oh, i smiled when you mistreated me
My friends called me a fool
I firmly believe where love is concerned
You've broken every rule
Oh, you got a good thing in me
You're gonna lose me, wait and see
You won't wake up until we break up
What you bet, baby
