In-the-slot shuffle written for Wilson Pickett in 1965. Also covered by Bonnie Raitt in the mid-70's. I'm swinging my 21st century version as hard as I can for you.
lyrics
I wonder how many teardrops gonna fall tonight
& how many heartaches can a man have in one life?
I lost a lover, I lost a friend
I'm through with love, and I just can't win
3-time loser, 3-time loser
I wonder how many hours for true love I will have to wait
I wonder how many heartaches for true love I will have to take
Lost love once, lost love twice
What kind of love is worth that price?
3-time loser, 3-time loser
1-2-3, in misery, a 3-time loser
Repeat 2nd verse
Lost my woman, lost my friend
I'm through with love, and I just can't win
3-time loser
...vamp and fade
