Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was 19 then, you were 23
We stayed in number 4 Ferdinand Street
We spent five talking 'bout our lives but we
Talked like that about a thousand times
And I'm bored of all that
[Verse 2]
You used to tell me that love is a lottery
And you got your numbers and you're betting on me
You used to say that love is a game but
You got your numbers and you're betting on me
[Verse 3]
I tell you 'bout a guy that I've been with, you ask how
Old is he? and I laugh, 26
No, he's 30, how messed up is that?
Well forget it, he says, I'm a jealous man
And I don't wanna talk about that
[Verse 4]
You used to tell me that love is a lottery but
You got your numbers and you're betting on me
You used to say that love is a game but
You got your numbers and you're betting on me
You're still betting on me
[Verse 5]
Hold on, my dear, hold on real tight
It's just a numbers game in my mind
And we've been here a thousand times
A thousand times a thousand
[Verse 6]
You used to tell me that love is a lottery but
You got your numbers and you're betting on me
You used to say that love is a game but
You got your numbers and you're playing anyway
[Verse 7]
You used to tell me that love is a lottery but
You got your numbers and you're betting on me
You used to tell me that love is a lottery but
You got your numbers and you're betting on me
You're still betting on me
