I’ll Bet You Lyrics

Wooo!
Come on, huh!
Woo-ooh!
Ice cubes on a red hot stove will melt, and I bet ya
A drowning man's very first words is help, I bet you
If you bet on a horse and the horse don't win, you lose and I betcha
If you try to sit on air, you're gonna fall, and I betcha

If you want a winning hand
If you want a perfect man
Betcha never lose my love
You will win, I betcha
Betcha never lose my love
You will win, I betcha

Take a car without fuel, ain't gonna move, and I betcha
A carpenter can't build his house without his tools, I bet you
If the shoes are too small they hurt your feet, and I betcha
You can't know what's going on if you're asleep, I bet ya

If you want a winning hand
If you want a perfect man
Ha!
Betcha never lose my love
You will win, I betcha
Oh yeah!
Betcha never lose my love
You got to win, I betcha
Ohh, wowowowowowowowowow
Ah yeah!
OH get down! Uhh!
Come on, come on!
I betcha
You ain't gonna lose
You won't lose
Oh, yeah!

Bet you never lose my love
Bet you never lose my love
Bet you never lose my love, I'm a winner
Bet you never lose my love, come on
Bet you never lose my love, stuck by you
Bet you never lose my love, you can't lose
Bet you never lose my love, you stuck by me
Bet you never lose my love, bet on me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Who wrote the lyrics?
Genius Answer

While the identities of the writers of solely the lyrics are unclear, the lyrics and music together were written by two thirds of the 60’s production team Geo-Si-Mik: funkateer George Clinton and Sidney Barnes, along with the original singer of the tune, Theresa Lindsey.
