- Paul Stanley, Vini Poncia



I've been up and down, I've been all around

I was mystified, almost terrified

But late at night I still hear you call my name



I've been on my own, I've been all alone

I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed

But late at night I still want you just the same



I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool

And I sure know something, sure know something

You showed me things they never taught me in school

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can make me feel the way that you do

And I sure know something, aha



I was seventeen, you were just a dream

I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside

You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain



I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt

I've been starry eyed, never satisfied

'Cause late at night I still need you just the same

Just the same



I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool

And I sure know something, sure know something

You showed me things they never taught me in school

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can make me feel the way that you do

And I sure know something, aha



I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt

I've been starry eyed, never satisfied

'Cause late at night I still need you just the same

Just the same, yeah



I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool

And I sure know something, sure know something

You showed me things they never taught me in school

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can make me feel the way that you do

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can tell me till I hear it from you

And I sure know something, sure know something
