I've Gambled On Love Brion' O Neil
One eyed jacks and jokers in the hole are wild
the cards are stacked against me,
in love for a while
sitting here playing cards with the help
from the angels up above
but the angels must be sleeping,
'cause it's like gambeling on love
[chorus text]
[I've gambled on love, I'm holding
I've gambled on love, I'm folding
I've gambled on love,
'till I broke on out
can't bring myself to loosing,
another bamling bout]
you deal me some memories of times gone bad
throwing down my cards,
don't that make you real mad?
well I don't care, 'cause I'm a pro
at all those games
and it don't make me mad,
when you call me all those names
[chorus]
I'll play you double or nothin',
for a marathon game
and you'll walk away a looser,
with no one else to blame
but don't be looking for aces up my sleeve,
'cause this is streight up poker I do believe
[chorus]
make sure you check your gun in at The bar
before we start
'cause you ain't putting another bullet
through my heart
let's deal 'em down and dirty and play
according to the rules
and at the end of the game,
I'll be nobody's fool
so, I call ya now, what have you got?
yep, just what I thought, nothin'
now your easily forgot
[chorus]
I've gambled on love, I've gambled on love ,
yes, I've gambled on love...fade END
