"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 how 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 how to leave well enough alone

Don't know how to do it, man

[Guitar solo]

On your own
That's where you've always been

Cause you're way too short on patience
Trying to hard to get ahead

You'd think you know by now, man
The game you're playin' has gone cold

Cause you don't know how
You don't know how to leave well enough alone

Hey
Don't know how to do it, man
