Let It Ride

If you're gonna have love You gotta play your cards right Weak of the stomach They need not apply Ante up And prepare to lose it all If you're scared don't let em See it in your eyes If you're gonna have love You gotta keep your chips on the table To hell with the odds If a long shot steals your heart You can't go home a little early If the dealer makes you nervous If you're gonna have love You gotta let it ride You can play it safe With those little petty wagers But the payout will never Keep you satisfied Or just sit out Watch someone else's hot streak Leave you cold and lonely With nothing but your pride If you're gonna have love You gotta keep your chips on the table To hell with the odds If a long shot steals your heart You can't go home a little early If the dealer makes you nervous If you're gonna have love You gotta let it ride Love's a gamble And the cards are stacked against you But if you don't play You can never win Don't try to cheat it Keep your hands out of your pockets Or lady luck may never Pass your way again If you're gonna have love You gotta keep your chips on the table To hell with the odds If a long shot steals your heart You can't go home a little early If the dealer makes you nervous If you're gonna have love You gotta let it ride If you're gonna have love You gotta let it ride
