The Bet

You're betting me 
and I'm betting you
I say we're done 
you say we're through
It's a good bet 
that we both will lose
Cause you're in love with me 
and I'm in love with you

We go through this 
every now and then
You say that's it 
and I say Amen
You've had enough 
I say we're done
But then remember that 
we're both in love

When throwing stuff 
we duck and run
As our holding glue 
daily comes undone
But thank you very much 
we patch it up
All because 
we're both in love

So place your bet 
and I'll place mine too
That we're not done 
no, we're not through
Being a good bet 
that we two won't lose
Cause you're in love with me 
and I'm in love with you
