I've played a game of chance
I gambled your romance
I've played a game of chance
I gambled your romance
Gambled and I lost you
Those stakes were too high
I played a game of chance babe
And all I won was your goodbye
When the cards were dealt
What a pain I felt
When the cards were dealt
What a pain I felt
I raised fate
And fate raised me
How unlucky can one man be
Because fate cashed in
And I lost that game of chance
A game of chance played with cards alone
Never ever seems to break your heart
But when you play a game with the blue chips of love
You tear yourself apart
I've played a game of chance
I gambled your romance
I've played a game of chance
I gambled your romance
I raised fate
And fate raised me
How unlucky can one man be
Because fate cashed in
And I lost in that game of chance
