Gambling Man
The Overtones Lyrics

I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all (Baby, I'd lose it all)

Baby, oh could you be the queen of hearts
Or the devil in disguise with every move
I'm blinded by those diamonds in her eyes
I got some bad addiction
Baby, it's you, yeah, yeah, that's right
And I feel you taking over me
Could luck be a lady in here tonight

My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all (Baby, I'd lose it all)

I'm captured in your sweet lovin'
But it feels just like a curse
You're beneath my skin, I start tremblin'
With this love so dangerous
I want you, why don't you, just place your bets on me

My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all

My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all, yeah, but for you, I'd lose it all

I met you once, I loved you twice
That's the way this tale begins
I played my hand, I rolled the dice
Now I'm paying for my sins
I got some bad addiction baby it's you yeah yeah that's right
And I feel you taking over me
Could luck be a lady in here tonight

Chorus

(Baby I'd lose it all)

Baby
Oh Could you be the queen of hearts

Am I the only one who just closes their eyes while listening to this and falls in love for like the eightieth time? The main singers voice... I just... It's kinda high and it's got that... I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS but all I know is that I love it. It's almost sounds like he's got a really big smile when he's singing... I love it.

My grandad had this cd in his car when we would go to see my now passed great auntie, we would drive with the overtones playing for around 4 hours and me and my siblings knew all the words to these songs, I miss the days but I'm glad they happened and I remember the joy that came with them

Goodbye Timmy, watching this after the news of your passing is gut wrenching. We are heartbroken, you were such a warm, kind hearted person and taken from us too soon. My heart, thoughts and prayers are with Timmy’s family and the boys in the band, his best friends, his brothers. 😢

This song was the first song I ever had of the overtones. It made me instantly fall in love with the band which was the reason why I wanted to see them live. I even had the pleasure of meeting them before the concert and those guys are amazing and so down to earth! Just a couple of men who love to sing and appreciate their chances. I'm sad to hear Timmy passed away but heaven has gained another amazing angel ❤️🙁 R. I. P.

Though I'm a metalhead this is one of the songs i'd listen to whenever i'd break up or needed to remind myself of my own value. For some reason i remembered it today only to learn that TImmy died. R.I.P. buddy you've helped in more than one occasion and i suspect you'll continue to do so. Keep an eye out for us from up there. To family and friends, remember him fondly, I know I'll do.
