| Life’s a gamble, some people say
|
| They make it look so easy every time they play
|
| But for me it’s hard to figure out
|
| Where I land at the end of all this shufflin' 'round
|
| Sometimes I’m a joke, sometimes I’m a king
|
| Sometimes I’m hidin' somewhere in between
|
| But when the cards are on the table you can always bet on me
|
| Like a handful of diamonds or the heart of a queen
|
| I’ve had money and a woman’s love
|
| And I lost 'em both and blamed it on my luck
|
| Luck’s a lady and you can bet she’ll change
|
| But you’re guaranteed to lose if you walk away
|
| Sometimes I’m a joke, sometimes I’m a king
|
| Sometimes I’m hidin' somewhere in between
|
| But when the cards are on the table you can always bet on me
|
| Like a handful of diamonds or the heart of a queen
|
| I know it’s crazy buying in
|
| To come out on the losing end
|
| Until one day I turn around
|
| And my ship comes in
|
| Sometimes I’m a joke and sometimes I’m a king
|
| Sometimes I’m hidin' somewhere in between
|
| But when the cards are on the table you can always bet on me
|
| Like a handful of diamonds or the heart of a queen
