[Verse 1]
I roll the dice
Seven eleven
You'll either take me down
Or you'll take me to heaven
[Chorus 1]
And I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I said I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
[Verse 2]
My friends all say
He don't play by the rules
So listen
Don't you be no fool
Don't you know, you're just a beginner
So look at me now
[Chorus 2]
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes, I am
She's a winner
Yeah, yes I am
She's a winner
[Verse 2]
Like a roulette wheel
Spinning around in my head
I put my chips on nine
Gamblin' you'd be mine
[Chorus 1]
And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
Say I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
[Verse 3]
My friends all say
We just don't understand it
You play this game
You'll come out empty handed
'Cause here we arrange her
And then shortchange her
But I fooled them, y'all
[Chorus 2]
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes I am
She's a winner
Yes I am
[Bridge]
Put that money down
And put 'dem chips on nine
[Verse 4]
I'm a gambling girl
And I give all I got
So I am at your love
And I hit the jackpot
[Chorus 1]
And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
[Chorus 2]
I'm a winner
Yes I am
I'm a winner
Yes I am
I roll the dice
Seven eleven
You'll either take me down
Or you'll take me to heaven
[Chorus 1]
And I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I said I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
[Verse 2]
My friends all say
He don't play by the rules
So listen
Don't you be no fool
Don't you know, you're just a beginner
So look at me now
[Chorus 2]
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes, I am
She's a winner
Yeah, yes I am
She's a winner
[Verse 2]
Like a roulette wheel
Spinning around in my head
I put my chips on nine
Gamblin' you'd be mine
[Chorus 1]
And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
