I've been up and down. I've been all around.

I was mystified almost terrified.

But, late at night, I still hear you call my name.

I've been on my own. I've been all alone.

I was hypnotized almost paralyzed. C D

But, late at night, I still want you just the same.

I've been a gambler but, I'm nobody's fool

An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.

You showed me things they never taught me in school

An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.

No one can make me feel the way that you do

 An' I Sure Know Something. Uh-huh!

I Was seventeen. You were just a dream.

I was mesmerized. I felt scared inside.

You broke my heart an' I still can feel the pain.

I've been counted out. I've had fear and doubt.

I've been staryy-eyed, never satisfied

'cause, late at night, I still need you just the same.

I've been a gambler but, I'm nobody's fool

An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.

You showed me things they never taught me in school

An' I Sure Know Something. ...Sure Know Something.

No one can make me feel the way that you do

An' I Sure Know Something. Uh-huh!
