Losing Hand
Love's Betrayal: Eric Clapton's Heartfelt Losing Hand
Lyrics
I gambled on your love, babe
I took a risk on your love, babe
Yes and got a losing hand
Unfortunately, I ended up with a losing outcome
I gambled on your love, baby
I risked it again on your love, baby
Yes and got a losing hand
Once more, the result was disappointment
Your ways keep changing
Your behavior is inconsistent, like the ever-shifting desert sand
Like the shifting desert sand
Referring to the unpredictability and instability of the partner
While I was playing fair, baby
While I was being honest and fair, you engaged in deceitful actions, baby
Well you played a cheating game
You played a dishonest game while I played fairly, baby
While I was playing fair, baby
Reiterating the unfair actions of the partner
Yes you played a cheating game
Emphasizing the cheating nature of the partner's game
Knew you didn't care, baby
Acknowledging the lack of care from the partner, despite my love
But I loved you just the same
Expressing enduring love despite the partner's shortcomings
Thought I'd be your king, baby
Believed I would be your significant other, baby
Yes and you could be my queen
Hoped for a reciprocal relationship where you would be my partner
I thought I'd be your king, baby
Repeating the desire for a mutual connection
Yes and you would be my queen
Expecting fairness, but you used me as a joke or a pawn
You used me for your joker
Feeling deceived because I believed your intentions were honest
Because I thought your deal was clean
Expressing disappointment in the perceived dishonesty of the partner
The way you did me, baby
Expressing confusion and frustration about the partner's actions
I declare I'll never understand
Declaring a lack of understanding for the partner's behavior
The way you did me, baby
Reiterating the perplexity and frustration towards the partner
I declare I'll never understand
Underscoring the inability to comprehend the partner's actions
I gambled on your love, baby
Repeated mention of taking a risk on the partner's love with unfavorable results
And got a losing hand
Reiteration of experiencing a negative outcome from risking on the partner's love
