Written by Jack Charles
I've never had what I wanted
I had to fight for what I've got
I'd gamble with anything to keep from feeling
Like a dime in a dollar slot
But that's alright
I've got one more pitch to throw
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go
I've always had too much ambition
And it's making me a wreck
I'm bad with small talk
Feel like I've got the hand, but not a full deck
But that's alright
I've got one more ace to show
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go
Oh, all that I want is to be left alone
But they keep calling, thinking I'm stalling
Oh, all that they want -give it heart
Give it soul, don't forget rock and roll
And by morning, need it by morning
They say, "Let's go"
My baby's been giving me a hard time
And I don't know what to do
I'm up sleepwalking, keep on talking
Hell, I don't know who to
But that's alright
I've got one more chance to blow
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go-
I'd better hang on to my ass tonight
I've got one more round to go
I've never had what I wanted
I had to fight for what I've got
I'd gamble with anything to keep from feeling
Like a dime in a dollar slot
But that's alright
I've got one more pitch to throw
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go
I've always had too much ambition
And it's making me a wreck
I'm bad with small talk
Feel like I've got the hand, but not a full deck
But that's alright
I've got one more ace to show
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go
Oh, all that I want is to be left alone
But they keep calling, thinking I'm stalling
Oh, all that they want -give it heart
Give it soul, don't forget rock and roll
And by morning, need it by morning
They say, "Let's go"
My baby's been giving me a hard time
And I don't know what to do
I'm up sleepwalking, keep on talking
Hell, I don't know who to
But that's alright
I've got one more chance to blow
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go-
I'd better hang on to my ass tonight
I've got one more round to go
