The House Always Wins Lyrics

Once I loved a woman
Once we shared a name
But the tide pulled us under
And now we can't get up again

Well I wish someone had told me
You're going to sink before you swim
You make take a couple of rounds
But the house always wins

I thought our love would last forever
We would raise a family
But the cards were dealt against us
It was never meant to be

When love walks out and leaves you
Loneliness steps in
You make take a couple of rounds
But the house always wins

When I sat down at the table
I was a younger man
I thought I had the whole world
Wrapped up in my hands


I wished someone had told me
You're going to pay for all of your sins
You can take a couple of rounds
You can take a couple of rounds
You may take a couple of rounds
You may take a couple of rounds
You may take a couple of rounds
But the house, the house, always wins

William Bell (born 16 July 1939) is an American soul singer and songwriter. As a performer, he is probably best known for his debut single 1961's "You Don't Miss Your Water" and 1968's top 10 hit in the UK "Private Number", a duet with Judy Clay.

One of the finest of the Stax/Volt soul artists, he was, like Otis Redding, able to tell a story with great sincerity and flawless musicality. His song "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til Your Well Runs Dry)" is a Memphis masterpiece. Read more on Last.fm.
