| Back when I was still in school I got taught as a rule
|
| That my heart could always fool my head
|
| So I tripped and fell a lot, learning what true love was not
|
| Till one evening mama said we ought to talk
|
| She said love is a gamble, it’s a chance that you take
|
| You lay your heart down and you bet it won’t break
|
| You bet your sweet dreams won’t get tattered and torn
|
| But when that happens you must shake off those blues
|
| Just remember you’ve got nothing to lose
|
| But you’ve had true love since the day you were born
|
| Since the day you were born
|
| Then she told me all she knew about what makes true love true
|
| And it hasn’t much to do with heat
|
| Young hearts race and then grow still, passion cools and always will
|
| But a river just keeps filling up the sea
|
| You see love is a gamble, it’s a chance that you take
|
| You lay your heart down and you bet it won’t break
|
| You bet your sweet dreams won’t get tattered and torn
|
| But when that happens you must dream up some more
|
| When you find it you’ll have seen it before
|
| But you’ve had true love since the day you were born
|
| Love is a gamble, it’s a chance that you take
|
| To lay your heart down and you bet it won’t break
|
| You bet your sweet dreams won’t get tattered and torn
|
| But when that happens you must shake off those blues
|
| And just remember you got nothing to lose
|
| You’ve had true love since the day you were born
|
| Since the day you were born |
