Gambling Man
Overtones The Lyrics

I met you once, I loved you twice
From the moment I met you, I knew you were special and I fell in love with you twice as deeply the second time.

That's the way this tale begins
This is the start of a story about how love and addiction can have a powerful hold over us.

I played my hand, I rolled the dice
I took a chance on you and our relationship, hoping that it would pay off in a big way.

Now I'm paying for my sins
I'm paying the price for being addicted to you, even if it means losing everything else in my life.

I got some bad addiction
I have a bad addiction to you, and I can't seem to shake it no matter how hard I try.

Baby, it's you, yeah, yeah, that's right
You're the one I'm addicted to, the one who has me under your spell.

And I feel you taking over me
I can feel you slowly taking control of every aspect of my life and my thoughts.

Could luck be a lady in here tonight
I'm hoping that fate will be on my side tonight, and that things will finally turn out in my favor.

My odds are stacked
I know the odds are against me and that I'm unlikely to come out on top.

I've never been a gambling man
I've never been one to take big risks or to depend on chance.

I've never had the winning hand
I've never had the good fortune to come out ahead, no matter how hard I try.

But for you I'd lose it all
I'm willing to lose everything I have just to be with you, even if it means losing the game.

Baby, oh could you be the queen of hearts
You could be the one who rules my heart, the one who has the power to make or break me.

Or the devil in disguise with every move
But you could also be the one who brings me down, the one who disguises her true intentions and uses me for her own gain.

I'm blinded by those diamonds in her eyes
I'm so mesmerized by you and the way you look at me that I can't see anything else.

I'm captured in your sweet lovin'
I'm trapped in your love and can't seem to escape, no matter how hard I try.

But it feels just like a curse
Being in love with you feels like a curse, because no matter how much it hurts me, I can't seem to let you go.

You're beneath my skin, I start tremblin'
You're under my skin and I can't control the way I feel when I'm around you.

With this love so dangerous
This kind of love is dangerous, because it has the potential to destroy me completely.

I want you, why don't you, just place your bets on me
I want you to take a chance on me and our love, and to believe that it's worth risking everything for.

But for you I'd lose it all, yeah, but for you, I'd lose it all
No matter how much I stand to lose, I'm willing to do it all for you and for the love I feel for you.
