Whoa___________ohhh
All the young adolescents with their phony ID
And the best dressed out lookin' for someplace to be
They're all listening to the gambler
Who's too far gone too feel any pain
He says next to drinking gambling is his only vice
Then it takes him half an hour to roll the dice
He says he's a gambler
but he's barely got the cards for a game
Cho.. Then the gambler lays his money down
Then the gambler slowly turns around
And says I may be a loser but I play the game
And this money says that no one here can say the same
Put your cards on the table, call the waiter for another round
Call the waiter
inst....(Verse)
Well it's ablank cheque stacked deck life that he leads
He loses what he wants & wins what he needs
He says he's a gambler but he's barely got the cards for a game
Well He says he's a gambler but he's barely got the cards for a game
Well He says he's a gambler but he's barely got the cards for a game
