Leave Well Enough Alone Lyrics - Robert Cray

If you lose 

It's because you showed your hand 

Somebody called your bluff 

I guess you didn't understand 

I thought you learned your lesson 

It's time for you to go home 

'Cause you don't know how 

You don't know when to leave well enough alone 

Crowded rooms 

That's where you make your stand 

Talking loud and jivin' 

Trying to take the upper hand 

I feel sorry for you, buddy 

No one's pickin' up the phone 

'Cause you don't know how 

You don't know when to leave well enough alone 

Don't know how to do it, man 

On your own 

That's where you've always been 

'Cause you're way too short on patience 

Trying too hard to get ahead 

You think you'd know by now, man 

The game you're playin' has gone cold 

'Cause you don't know how 

You don't know when to leave well enough alone 

Hey, don't know how to do it, man
