Raise The Stakes

[Verse 1] No one wants to live alone forever I was sweating in the autumn weather Some are sitting on a bench together A letter written but not delivered [Chorus] I was dealt a bad hand maybe Time to up the ante The stakes are high But I’ve got time to lose [Verse 2] Someday we’ll meet in the hills of the sun Let’s make a bet if you’re not with someone To be together and to fall in love I’ll try my hardest not to mess it up [Verse 3] I’m the holding cards so close to my chest Cause there’s no point in being second best The game is unfair and too rich for my blood All bets are off when you’re stuck in the mud [Chorus] I was dealt a bad hand maybe Time to up the ante The stakes are high But I’ve got time to lose [Bridge] Raise the stakes Raise the stakes Raise the stakes Raise the stakes [Chorus] I was dealt a bad hand maybe Time to up the ante The stakes are high But I’ve got time to lose
