 Struggling with Happiness? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Take a gamble with your heart 
Take a chance on happiness
Odds are on your better half 
You'll be glad you placed the bet 

Think it over - what's to lose? 
All the odds are in your favour
Play your cards right - no excuse
You know life is what you make it 

Scared to move case you get shortchanged
But nothing venture, baby - nothing gained 
Take a gamble with your heart 
Take a chance on happiness 

Toss a coin or turn a card 
Time to give those blues a rest
Play for keeps - bet your life
I see loving in your future 

You'll never know if you don't try 
Missionary or kama sutra? 
If there's room for you to improve
There's only one thing left for you to do 

Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness 
Take the plunge - leap in the dark 
Put your instincts to the test 

Take a gamble with your heart 
Take a chance on happiness 
Turn or leave me - coming start
Find out what you like the best 
Take a gamble with your heart........
