about

Second single from Philadelphia's own La Dante.

A companion track to first single "Mexico Sunrise."

lyrics

we been talking bout the future
we been talking every day
talking always turns to fighting
but the fighting keeps the world at bay

i say you don't want my lovin
cuz it ain't meant to last
we should go our separate ways now
and i'm sorry that i broke
your heart so fast

she says "i love you too much
fallen too hard for a gamblin man
love's not a game
but i lost it all just for you, babe
cuz i never know
when it's time to walk away"

i tried hard not to look back
at her jet black velvet eyes
cuz i know that they've been crying so much
so i call her and i ask
are you alright (are you alright?)

and she says "i love you too much
fallen too hard for this gamblin man
love's not a game
but i lost it all just for you, babe
cuz i never know
when it's time to walk away"

she says "i love you too much
wasted my years on this gamblin man
you'll be okay, but i lie awake
thinkin bout you
cuz i never know, never know...."
