Lucky in Love

A betting fool, a gambling man
No sooner up, you're down again
Mama said you won't get hurt
Don't play the cards, you won't get burned

But there's a place where I still win
But there's no money in this thing
The game of hearts puts me in spades
The only game I got it made

Oh, I'm lucky in love
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Lucky in love
Suddenly, I'm dangerous

I'm betting on a filly down at the track
A natural-born winner, that's a fact
A hundred yards from the winning post (c'mon, c'mon)
The horse fell down, musta seen a ghost

But there's a place where I still win
That is still my sure-fire thing
Ooh, I will play the jack of spades
You play the queen, I'll play the knave

Oh, I'm lucky in love
Yes, I've got the winning touch
Lucky in love
Suddenly, I'm dangerous

I know it's a mystery
When the numbers come up
'Cause mathematics is Greek to me
But I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky in love

Yeah, Las Vegas at night at the roulette wheel
Yeah, Monte Carlo try to cut a deal
Atlantic City, I lose at craps
Back in London try to win it back, yes

And late at night I lay in bed
With a pistol to my head, mmm
Swear I couldn't take no more
And in she walks right through my door

Oh, I'm lucky in love
Ooh, when I think I've had enough
'Cause I'm lucky in love
Yes, I've got the winning touch

Suddenly, I'm dangerous

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies

Thank God for the ladies
Otherwise, I'd go, I'd go crazy
How about a line of credit
For say, 10,000 dollars?
18 on the red, whoa
Put me, put me home to bed, baby

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies

Yeah, I'm sitting here with a full house
I just can't believe I'll lose out on this
Okay! Okay! Your 10,000 and 10,000 more
Oh yeah, you wanna raise me, you wanna raise me? How 'bout this?
20,000 and 20,000 more
Okay! You wanna see me? Well I got, I got a full house
What's that? A royal flush?
Well, ain't that a bust, I'm broke
