So here I am again
left staring into space
I played the jack of hearts again
and got ******* by an ace
I thought the hand a little shaky
still I played it anyway
they say feint heart ne'r won fair maiden
but just who the hell are "they"
So I think I'll give up playing
forever end my losing streak
I don't think I have the heart left
too many beatings left me weak
I have no winning chips to cash out
no iou's to pay
So I stand up from the table
turn and walk away.
I've rolled the dice too many times
I've gambled and I've lost
and finally I realise
the pain of losing, ain't worth the cost.
