Took my chances carelessly Choked on my own cigarette You can hand me another bottle of whiskey baby But you ain't seen the worst yet Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun And the woman who is dead Who was out alnight, no I'm not the only one And I ain't standing, never standing In the shadow of your love Shadow of your love Shadow of your love Shadow of your love Wrote my changes helplessly Yeah but I got no regrets Money it was on the table So I booked with all the bets Living like a lemon ain't so hot And you ain't my idea Of one high-rollin' shot No I ain't standing, never standing Big dark clouds hanging over your head Hope you've heard, baby all I've said You've been told, what I've said No use crying, you're as good as dead Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun And the woman who is dead, who is out alright Now I'm not the only one And I ain't standing, never standing Big dark clouds hanging over your head Hope you've heard, baby all I've said You've been told, what I've said No use crying, you're as good as dead
