Love Gamble
I’m that person, place, thing or idea you can’t get out of your head.
Endless nights you toss and turn in bed while u pop another med.
I always said I was addictive like a drug. I’ll be your blanket and keep you
warm and snug.
Or maybe I just might give you a terrible feeling and be the flu bug.
With one touch, I can make you quiver. My tongue rolling across your neck will
make you shiver.
You don’t play your cards right and I’ll work the nervous system to the liver.
My point is that I can be the greatest guy you ever met. You will no longer live
life with regret.
But mess with me and I’ll collect like a past due gambling bet.
I’ll be there for you always, my love will get you high and leave you in a daze.
But don’t get lost like a mouse trapped in a maze.
I promise to get you out of any bind, so long as you stay with me in body and
mind.
Leave me and regret is all you will find.
I don’t gamble with hearts, I play the game of life and display my smarts.
So sit down and watch me prepare before the show starts.
Don’t ever question how smart I am nor keep me by a collar, watch my love
grow into a scholar.
My way with words is just a fraction of how I am going to multiply the dollar.
I know love is gambling, but I am loaded dice. Give it a shot and the payout is
nice.
I have loved once, but I aint afraid to say I can and will be in love twice.
Exhaustion has taken a toll on me when trying to find the one, give me some
water because it feels like I have been walking in the sun.
My marathon walk will pay off when I am done.
I hate cheaters and liars, so don’t use me to fulfill your passionate desires.
You do me wrong and you’re going to need an ocean to douse the fires.
Like I said, love is gambling, so you want to place your bet? I guarantee you
I’m the highest roller you’ve ever met.
I’m the closest thing to a Royal Flush that you will ever get.
