Life has made me
Pay an awful price
I try and gamble with ya
But you're using crooked dice

Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it always fall on me

Money you've made me
Some very fast friends
And just like you made them
You're gonna break them in the end

Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me

I've had my share, of love, life and money
Lost all 3 ways, I'm here to tell ya that sure ain't funny
Me and my money parted, so could my love and I
Life don't mean a thing and I wish that I could die

Life can make, a whole lotta fools
Always teach ya something
That you never learn in school

Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
If it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me
How come it all falls on me

I've had my share, of love, life and money
Lost all 3 ways, I'm here to tell ya that sure ain't funny
Me and my money parted, so did my love and I
Life don't mean a thing and I wish that I could die

Life can make, a whole lotta fools
Always teach ya something
That you never learn in school

Somebody's gotta suffer
Somebody's sure gotta feel some pain
But, if it's gonna rain down misery
How come it all has to fall on me

Fall on me
Fall on me
How come it all has to fall on me
