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've 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 (come on, come on, come on)
The horse fell down, must have 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
Yeah
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
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 Oh when I think I've had enough
'Cause I'm lucky in love
Yes I've got the winning touch
Thank God for the ladies
Otherwise I'd go, I'd go crazy
How about a line of credit for, say, 10 000 dollars?
Eighteen on the red
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, you know
I just can't believe I'll lose out on this
OK, OK, your 10 000 and 10 000 more
OK you want to raise me, you want to raise me?
How about this? 20 000 and 20 000 more
OK, you want to see me? Well I've got, I've got a full house
What's that? A royal flush?
Well, ain't that a bust
I'm broke
