A betting fool
A gambling man 
No sooner up 
You're down again 
Mama said you won't get hurt
Don't play the cards
You won't get burned 
But there's a place where I still win
But there's no money in this thing
The game of hearts puts me in spades
The only game I've got it made

Oh I'm lucky in love
Yes I've got the winning touch 
Lucky in love 
Suddenly I'm dangerous

I'm betting on a filly down at the track 
A natural born winner that's a fact
A hundred yards from the winning post 
The horse fell down must have seen a ghost
But there's a place where I still win
That is still my sure fire thing
Ooh I will play the Jack of Spades
You play the Queen 
I'll play the knave

Oh I'm lucky in love
Yes I've got the winning touch 
Lucky in love 
Suddenly I'm dangerous

I know it's a mystery 
When the numbers come up 
Cause mathematics is Greek to me
But I'm lucky, I'm lucky 
I'm lucky in love

Yeah Las Vegas at night at the roulette wheel
Yeah Monte Carlo try to cut a deal 
Atlantic City I lose at craps 
Back in London try to win it back 
And late at night I lay in bed
With a pistol to my head
Swear I couldn't take no more
And in she walks right through my door

Oh I'm lucky in love 
When I think I've had enough 
Lucky in love 
Yes I've got the winning touch 
Suddenly I'm dangerous

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies

Thank God for the ladies 
Otherwise I'd go, I'd go crazy 
How about a line of credit 
For say ten thousand dollars
Eighteen on the red
Put me, put me home to bed baby

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky
Lucky with the ladies

I'm sitting here with a full house you know
I just can't just can't lose out on this
Okay, okay your ten thousand 
And ten thousand more
Oh you want to raise me
You want to raise me
How about this 
Twenty thousand and twenty thousand more
Okay you want to see me
Well I got, I got a full house
What's that 
A royal flush 
Well ain't that a bust
I'm broke
