If you like to gamble,  I tell you I'm your man

BRIDGE:
                                   
You know I'm born to loose       and   gambling's for fools
   N..                              
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever

Pushing up the ante,   I   know you've got to see me

   Read 'em and weep,  the  dead man's hand again

 I  see it in your eyes,     take one look and die

The only thing you see,   you know it's gonna be
