It's a sure thing
It's a sure thing
If you wanna gamble a couple of dreams
Then baby
Put your loving on me
It's a sure thing
That I'm gonna treat you right

Don't hang around
With them jokers in the back room
'Cause they'll only deal you a losin' hand
If you want somebody
To deal you a heart full of aces
Then, baby
Stop your looking
'Cause I'm your man

It's a sure thing
It's a sure thing
If you wanna gamble a couple of dreams
Then baby
Put your lovin' on me
It's a sure thing
That I'm gonna treat you right

Looking at you
I can see that you've been lonely
I've been lonely too
On a losing streak

If we put our hearts together
I bet we can make it
Becoming a winner
You and me

It's a sure thing
It's a sure thing
If you wanna gamble a couple of dreams
Then baby, put your loving on me
It's a sure thing
That I'm gonna treat you right

It's a sure thing
That I'm gonna love you right
It's a sure thing
That I'm gonna treat you right
It's a sure thing
That I'm gonna love you right

It's a sure thing
I'm gonna love you right
It's a sure thing
It's all right, it's all right
It's a sure thing
I'm gonna love you right
It's a sure thing
I'm gonna love you right

It's a sure thing
I'm gonna love you right
It's a sure thing
I'm gonna love you right
It's a sure thing
It's a sure thing
