I never thought I'd need you but now I found I'm wrong
Come on back sweet mama back where you belong
I've gambled all over town find that I can't win
So come on back and pick me up again
Now if I lose let me lose
I don't care how much I lose
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm trying to win a dime
My baby she's got money all the time
Of all the other gals I know no one can take your place
Cause when I get into a jam they just ain't in the race
So now that you're back dear let's take another round
With you here by my side dear the deal just can't go down
If I Lose was written by Ralph Stanley.
