The Gamble
Love is a lot like gambling
You can win or you can lose
You place your bets carefully
And play the game you choose
Sometimes, you roll snakeeyes
And lose before you start
The prize you win is worthless
Just another broken heart
The dealer begins to shuffle
As he deals your final card
The hand you're dealt is nothing
And easy to discard
Sometimes, you get lucky
As you play your love roulette
You win the prize you're looking for
A prize you'll never forget
