When You Bet On Love

© 2013 Mark Cote

When I roll the dice on love all I get is deuces
when they say true love I have to wonder why
tasted deception
and I ain't forgettin'
the sour words

want the cards I always deal to come up aces
while the joker smiles at me with that look in his eye
high expectations
and I am just sayin'
this to you

(chorus) when you bet on love you never win
                  when you bet on love you never lose
                  all that you lose every time
                  all that you lose is your mind

I know that this game I play is just a gamble
and I know that I may be sometimes hard to handle
I'm not perfection
I know of rejection
oh so well

(chorus)
(instrumental)

When I roll the dice on love all I get is deuces
when they say true love I have to wonder why
tasted deception
and I ain't forgettin'
the sour words

(chorus)
