lyrics

Talk is cheap I've often heard it said
Try to walk the path inside my head
Embellishing in order to impress
Embarrassed to admit that I'm a mess

And to lie just to prove makes no sense
But your honor, I'd say in my defense

You don't have to bet on me
But don't bet against me
You don't have to count on me
But don't count me out
I know that the odds are long and I'm often wrong
But I'm seldom in doubt
You don't have to bet on me
But don't count me out

I know you don't remember what you said
But I can't get those words out of my head
To you it prolly wasn't no big deal
You ripped a wound that never heals

And I'll spend my whole life trying to show
That I'm worthy to those I don't know

You don't have to bet on me
But don't bet against me
You don't have to count on me
But don't count me out
I know that the odds are long
And I'm often wrong
But I'm seldom in doubt
You don't have to bet on me
But don't count me out
