I Gambled My Heart Lyrics - Buddy Holly

When you've loved someone 

and then found you've lost 

why must a true heart be left to pay the cost 

Why must a heart that has been true 

be broken and sad - so empty and blue 

I gambled my heart and I lost it to you 

now I'll spend my life wondering why I love you 

someday you'll know - why I'm so blue 

when you've gambled your heart 

and you've lost it too

Why must it be the one you want most of all 

they'll build you up and then let you fall 

they'll lead you on - you'll think that they're true 

they'll love you then leave you so empty and blue
