Heartbreak Game — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

It`s not as if I didn`t know better, her innocent look and a scented letter
It looked like love but it felt like a memory
Sometimes a young girl wants a ticket out
and a gambler on a roll looks good no doubt
But if you think you`re winnin` you don`t even know the game you`re in

Chorus:
It`s read В‘em and weep, it`s a sad old song
You take your chances just the same
Don`t it serve me right how it all went wrong
Bettin` on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game
Bettin` on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game

It`s not as if she never loved me, but times get rough and the rooms get lonely
And a girl learns fast that there`s a lot of different things called love
I got burned bad but I`m still in this game
It`s a dirty deal but nobody`s to blame
The odds are good lady luck will be back again

Chorus

Bridge:
Sometimes you gotta bet your aces low
Sometimes you gotta let a good hand go

Chorus 2x

Bettin` on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game
