LUCKY IN LOVE

Mick Jagger



A betting fool

A gambling man

No sooner up

You're down again

Mama said you won't get hurt

Don't play the cards

You won't get burned

But there's a place where I still win

But there's no money in this thing

The game of hearts puts me in spades

The only game I've got it made



Oh I'm lucky in love

Yes I've got the winning touch

Lucky in love

Suddenly I'm dangerous



I'm betting on a filly down at the track

A natural born winner that's a fact

A hundred yards from the winning post

The horse fell down must have seen a ghost

But there's a place where I still win

That is still my sure fire thing

Ooh I will play the Jack of Spades

You play the Queen

I'll play the knave



Oh I'm lucky in love

Yes I've got the winning touch

Lucky in love

Suddenly I'm dangerous



I know it's a mystery

When the numbers come up

Cause mathematics is Greek to me

But I'm lucky, I'm lucky

I'm lucky in love



Yeah Las Vegas at night at the roulette wheel

Yeah Monte Carlo try to cut a deal

Atlantic City I lose at craps

Back in London try to win it back

And late at night I lay in bed

With a pistol to my head

Swear I couldn't take no more

And in she walks right through my door



Oh I'm lucky in love

When I think I've had enough

Lucky in love

Yes I've got the winning touch

Suddenly I'm dangerous



Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky

Lucky with the ladies



Thank God for the ladies

Otherwise I'd go, I'd go crazy

How about a line of credit

For say ten thousand dollars

Eighteen on the red

Put me, put me home to bed baby



Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky

Yes I'm lucky, yes I'm lucky

Lucky with the ladies



I'm sitting here with a full house you know

I just can't just can't lose out on this

Okay, okay your ten thousand

and ten thousand more

Oh you want to raise me

You want to raise me

How about this

Twenty thousand and twenty thousand more

Okay you want to see me

Well I got, I got a full house

What's that

A royal flush

Well ain't that a bust

I'm broke
