Let It Ride

If you’re gonna have love, you gotta play your cards right
Weak of the stomach, they need not apply
Better ante up and prepare to lose it all
If your scared don’t let ‘em see it in your eyes

If your 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 your little petty wagers
But the payout never keeps you satisfied
You just sit out, watch someone elses hot streak
Leave you cold and lonely with nothing but your pride

If your 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 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 those pockets
Or lady luck may never pass your way again

If your 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
