Gamble

When I was younger I would roam around
And I learned to gamble from the men downtown
I’d see ‘em playing poker, shooting pool
And they were kind enough to teach me the rules

They’d gamble on a chicken fight, make bets on games of cards
Bet money when they rolled the dice, make wagers throwing darts
They had one favorite game they held way high above
They liked to gamble on a game called love

And when a woman walked in they’d say
Come over baby, won’t you put the
Dice in your hand and just
Roll ‘em baby, don’t you think that
I could be your man for a while?

I’ll take a gamble, baby, I’ll take a few
I’ll take a gamble, baby, gamble on you
I’ll take a gamble, baby, I’ll take a few
I’ll take a gamble, baby, gamble on you

Now that I’m older and I’ve been around
I know just when to hold ‘em and when to lay ‘em down
So girl, let me tell you, let me help you understand
I’m willing to take a risk to be your man

I’ve got the dice in my hand, now watch me
Roll ‘em while I hold ‘em gonna
Take a deep breath and just
Throw ‘em baby, throw ‘em and we’ll
See where they land this time

I’ll take a gamble, baby, I’ll take a few
I’ll take a gamble, baby, gamble on you
I’ll take a gamble, baby, I’ll take a few
I’ll take a gamble, baby, gamble on you

I’ve got the dice in my hand, now watch me
Roll ‘em while I hold ‘em gonna
Take a deep breath and just
Throw ‘em baby, throw ‘em and we’ll
See where they land this time

I’ll take a gamble, baby, I’ll take a few
I’ll take a gamble, baby, gamble on you
I’ll take a gamble, baby, I’ll take a few
I’ll take a gamble, baby, gamble on you
