C F
I never thought I'd need you, but now I find I'm wrong
G C
Come on back, sweet Mama, back where you belong
C F
I've rambled over town to find that I can't win
G C
Come on back and pick me up again
G C
Now if I lose if I lose , let me lose let me lose
G C
I don't care I don't care how much I lose
C F
If I lose a hundred dollars while I'm tryin' to win a dime
G C
My baby, she's got money all the time

Of all the other gals I've known, there's none to take your place
G C
'Cause when I get into a jam, they just ain't in the race

So now that you're back here, let's take another round
G C
With you here by my side, babe, the deal just can't go down
G C
Now if I lose if I lose , let me lose let me lose

I don't care I don't care how much I lose
