Lyrics
Find another songYou're playing aces, still, I'm on it once again
Without a tell, I'm on my game
No hesitation, just a gambler to the end
So much to prove, I'm on the take
I hope in time that I can be a better man (ooh-ooh)
I cannot fold, I'll take a chance
And if I risked it all, I hope you'll understand
That I had to play my hand
If I give it all, at least I'll stand a chance
No, I don't want to lose again
Bad luck, be damned
You call my bluff tonight, I'll raise you with a smile
To try and change this destiny
I'm running out of time and playing all the while
Just one more win will set me free
I hope in time that I can be a better man (ooh-ooh)
I cannot fold, I'll take a chance
And if I risked it all, I hope you'll understand
That I had to play my hand
If I give it all, at least I'll stand a chance
No, I don't want to lose again
Bad luck, be damned
How many times have I tried?
A river of tears I have cried
And though, I have been at my worst
It is time for resolve and rebirth
And if I risked it all, I hope you'll understand
That I had to play my hand
If I give it all, at least I'll stand a chance
No, I don't want to lose again
Bad luck, be damned
