And I know what I want
I'm a gambler
And I know how to get it

And I know what to do
Well I know what I know, what I know Oh (Oh)I'm a gambler

The lyrics to Lace's song "I'm a Gambler" speak about a man who is confident in his ability to take risks and knows what he wants in life. He compares his strategies to those of a gambler who knows when to make a move and when to wait for better odds. The song conveys an overall sense of confidence and determination as the man sets his sights on a woman he desires. He urges her not to try to change him or trap him in a relationship as he is someone who needs his freedom.
The song can be interpreted as a metaphor for life itself, where we all encounter situations where we must take calculated risks in order to achieve our goals. The gambler-like mindset can be helpful in these situations, as it requires a level of confidence and strategic thinking that allows us to navigate uncertain waters. The lyrics suggest that this kind of boldness can lead to success, but also warn that it can bring about complications if not executed with care.
Overall, "I'm a Gambler" is a song that encourages taking risks and following one's instincts in order to achieve success in life and in love.
