Dirty Pool Lyrics
Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble
Lyrics
True love is gone, I's been played for a fool
True love is gone, I's been played for a fool
I'm turnin' the tables on you
You've been playin' dirty pool
You said you'd call the shots, darlin'
All your friends thought that was cool, so cool, baby
You said you'd call the shots, darlin'
All your friends thought that was so cool
Yeah, when you shot at the eight-ball, baby
I knew you were playin' dirty pool
They say that life, life is a game of give and take
They say that life, life is a game of give and take
I'm tellin' you one thing right now, little baby
I won't be the one to pay for your mistake
