Lyrics Leave Well Enough Alone - The Robert Cray Band

Leave Well Enough Alone

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
(Guitar outro)
