I know I took the path that you would never want for me I know I let you down, didn't I? So many sleepless nights Where you were waiting up on me Well I'm just a slave unto the night Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me Remember when I broke you down to tears I know I took the path that you would never want for me I gave you hell through all the years So I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I've been around the world but never in my wildest dreams Would I come running home to you I've told a million lies But now I tell a single truth There's you in everything I do Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me Remember when I broke you down to tears I know I took the path that you would never want for me I gave you hell through all the years So I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you Don't tell me that I'm wrong I've walked that road before I left you on your own And please believe them when they say That it's left for yesterday And the records that I've played Please forgive me for all I've done So I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you I, I bet my life, I bet my life I bet my life for you
