Dark Horse
Eric Clapton & George Harrison Lyrics

You thought that you knew where I was and when
You believed that you had complete knowledge of my whereabouts and schedule

But it looks like they've been foolin' you again
However, it appears that others have deceived you once more

You thought that you'd got me all steaked out
You thought you had thoroughly assessed and understood me

But baby looks like I've been breaking out
But it seems that I have been escaping and defying expectations

I'm a dark horse
I am an enigmatic and unpredictable individual

Running on a dark race course
Experiencing life in a challenging and uncertain path

I'm a blue moon
I am an extremely rare and unique occurrence

Since I stepped from out of the womb
Ever since my birth, I have stood out from the norm

I've been a cool jerk
I have been detached and aloof, keeping my distance

Looking for the source
Searching for the origin or essence of things

I'm a dark horse
I am an enigmatic and unpredictable individual

You thought you had got me in your grip
You believed you had complete control over me

Baby looks like you was not so smart
But it appears that you were not as intelligent as you thought

And I became too slippery for you
And I became too elusive and difficult for you to handle

But let me say that was nothing new
However, let me point out that this was not an unfamiliar situation

I'm a dark horse
I am an enigmatic and unpredictable individual

Running on a dark race course
Experiencing life in a challenging and uncertain path

I'm a blue moon
I am an extremely rare and unique occurrence

Since I picked up my first spoon
Ever since I was very young or started feeding myself

I've been a cool jerk
I have been detached and aloof, keeping my distance

Looking for the source
Searching for the origin or essence of things

I'm a dark horse
I am an enigmatic and unpredictable individual

I thought that you knew it all along
I believed that you were aware of the truth from the beginning

Until you started getting me not right
Until you began misunderstanding or misinterpreting me

Seems as if you heard a little late
It appears that you received the information with a slight delay

But I warned you when We both were at the starting gate
However, I gave you a cautionary notice when we were both starting out

I'm a dark horse
I am an enigmatic and unpredictable individual

Running on a dark race course
Experiencing life in a challenging and uncertain path

I'm a blue moon
I am an extremely rare and unique occurrence

Since I stepped from out of the womb
Ever since my birth, I have stood out from the norm

I've been a cool jerk
I have been detached and aloof, keeping my distance

Cooking at the source
Being involved and influential in the creation or development of something

I'm a dark horse
I am an enigmatic and unpredictable individual
