Ahh ahh

Gambler (Gambler)
Ahh ahh
Gambler (Gambler)
[Chorus]
I'm a gambler
And I will take you by surprise
Gambler
I'll aim straight between your ey-eyes
Gambler
Yeah, I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler
I only play the game to win, yeah
[Verse 1]
Don't wanna say this but I think that I should
I'm better off forgotten if you think that I'd be good
One day you see me, the next day I'm gone
Don't fight me, baby, I don't wanna hold on
[Chorus]
I'm a gambler (Gambler, gambler)
A gambler (Gambler, gambler)

You're not happy with the way I act
You better turn around boy, don't look back
