[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

I'm a gambler (Gambler, gambler)
A gambler (Gambler, gambler)

You better turn around boy, don't look back
You're getting angry, you know I can see
You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me

And I will take you by surprise
Gambler

You can't stop me now
'Cause I'm right
And I'm making advances
Let me show you how
