Lyrics

(Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen)

(Place your bets)

(Ooh)

Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh

Ooh, I

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?

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)

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

I'm wrapped up in

Your sweet lovin'

But it feels just like a curse

(But it feels just like a curse)

You're beneath my skin

I start tremblin'

This love so dangerous

(Place your bets)

I want you

(Place your bets)

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

(Oh, yeah)

My odds are stacked

I've never been a gambling man

(Oh, I never had)

I've never had the winning hand

But for you I'd lose it all

(But for you, I would lose it all)

My odds are stacked

(Yeah, I've never been)

Yeah, I've never been a gambling man

I've never had the winning hand

But for you I'd lose it all

Yeah, yeah, yeah

But for you, for you

I would lose it all
