I roll the dice

Seven eleven

You'll either take me down

Or you'll take me to heaven



And i'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby

I said i'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby



My friends all say

He don't play by the rules

So listen

Don't you be no fool

Don't you know, you're just a beginner

So look at me now



I'm a winner

I'm a winner

Yes, i am

She's a winner

Yeah, yes i am

She's a winner



Like a roulette wheel

Spinning around in my head

I put my chips on nine

Gamblin' you'd be mine



And i'm so glad

I took a chance on you baby

Say i'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby



My friends all say

We just don't understand it

You play this game

You'll come out empty handed



'cause here we arrange her

And then shortchange her

But i fooled them, y'all



I'm a winner

I'm a winner

Yes i am

She's a winner

Yes i am



Put that money down

And put 'dem chips on nine



I'm a gambling girl

And i give all i got

So i am at your love

And i hit the jackpot



And i'm so glad

I took a chance on you baby

I'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby



I'm a winner

Yes i am

I'm a winner

Yes i am
