I've Got a Bet With Myself Songtext
von Levon Helm

I′ve got a bet with myself, hope it won't take long
To find out the truth about my love life′s song
I've got a bet with myself, I've got a bet with myself
I′ve got a bet with myself, if I′m a gettin' over you

Well it′s been two years and our love is still strong
Lord, please help me if my heart went wrong
I've got a bet with myself, I′ve got a bet with myself
I've got a bet with myself, if I′m a gettin' over you

Well I'm bettin′ on me and I′m pulling on through
Can't stop myself from bettin′ on you
I hope that our love will find a way
I hate to see you go, you know you ought to stay
You ought to stay


I know I'm still bettin′ and I'm losing all day
I can′t seem to shake it, what's this love anyway
I've got a bet with myself, I′ve got a bet with myself
I′ve got a bet with myself, if I'm a gettin′ over you

Well I'm bettin′ on me and I'm bettin′ on you
Can't stop from dreaming a whole night through
I hope that our love will find a way
I hate to see you go, you know you ought to stay
You better stay

I guess I'm still bettin′ and I′m losing all day
I can't seem to shake it, what′s this love anyway
I've got a bet with myself, I′ve got a bet with myself
Got a bet with myself, if I'm a gettin′ over you
I've got a bet with myself, if I'm a gettin′ over you
