I've Got A Bet With Myself

(album: Levon Helm - 1978)

I've got a bet with myself, hope it won't take long
To find out the truth about my love life's song
I've got a bet with myself, I've got a bet with myself
I've got a bet with myself, if I'm a getting over you

Well it's been two years and our love is still strong
Lord, please help me if my heart went wrong
I've got a bet with myself, I've got a bet with myself
I've got a bet with myself, if I'm a getting over you

Well I'm betting on me and I'm pulling on through
Can't stop myself from betting on you
I hope that our love will find a way
I hate to see you go, you know you ought to stay
You ought to stay

I know I'm still betting and I'm losing all day
I can't seem to shake it, what's this love anyway
I've got a bet with myself, I've got a bet with myself
I've got a bet with myself, if I'm a getting over you

Well I'm betting on me and I'm betting on you
Can't stop from dreaming a whole night through
I hope that our love will find a way
I hate to see you go, you know you ought to stay
You better stay

I guess I'm still betting and I'm losing all day
I can't seem to shake it, what's this love anyway
I've got a bet with myself, I've got a bet with myself
Got a bet with myself, if I'm a getting over you
I've got a bet with myself, if I'm a getting over you
