Thinking 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you.

Lyrics:
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
Your ways keep changing like the shifting desert sand
While I was playing fair baby you played a cheating game
While I was playing fair baby you played a cheating game
I know you don’t care but I love you just the same
I thought I’d be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
I thought I’d be your king baby, yes and you could be my queen
But you used me for your joker 'cause I thought you’re deal was clean
The way you did me pretty baby I declare I never understand
The way you did me pretty baby I declare I never understand
I gambled on your love baby and got a losing hand
