Back when I was still in school
|
I got taught as a rule
|
That my heart could always fool my head
|
So I tripped and fell a lot
|
Learning what true love was not
|
Till one evening Mama said we ought to talk
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
She said love is a gamble
|
It's a chance that you take
|
You lay your heart down
|
And you bet it won't break
|
You bet your sweet dreams
|
Won't get tattered and torn
|
But when that happens
|
You must shake off those blues
|
Just remember you've got nothing to lose
|
But you've had true love since the day you were born
|
Since the day you were born
|
|
Then she told me all she knew
|
About what makes true love true
|
And it hasn't much to do with heat
|
Young hearts race and then grow still
|
Passion cools and always will
|
But a river just keeps filling up the sea
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
You see love is a gamble
|
It's a chance that you take
|
You lay your heart down
|
And you bet it won't break
|
You bet your sweet dreams
|
Won't get tattered and torn
|
But when that happens
|
You must dream up some more
|
When you find it you'll have seen it before
|
But you've had true love
|
Since the day you were born
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Love is a gamble
|
It's a chance that you take
|
To lay your heart down
|
And you bet it won't break
|
You bet your sweet dreams
|
Won't get tattered and torn
|
But when that happens
|
You must shake off those blues
|
And just remember you got nothing to lose
|
You've had true love
|
Since the day you were born
|
Since the day you were born
|
