Lottery

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
