lyrics

I am a gambler and I’ll play all night
I am a gambler and I’ll play all night
I will excuse no failure
so you’d better start to play it right.

I am a gambler, I’d give me soul to win
I am a gambler, I’d give my soul to win
if I win I will get nothing
but if I lose I’ll lose all I got
I am a gambler.

If only I could forgive myself
my days would not pass in vain
but instead I’m here ready to toss my dices
yes! If I win this time I’ll buy back my old life.

I am a gambler, what do you want from me?
I am a gambler, what do you want from me?
If I win I will get nothing
but if I lose I’ll lose all I got!
