Lucky In Love Lyrics

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 no money
in this thing
But there's a place
where I still win
The only game
I've got it made
The game of hearts
puts me in spades

Oh I'm lucky in love
Yes I've got the winning touch
Lucky in love
Suddenly I'm dangerous

A natural born winner
that's a fact
I'm betting on a filly
down at the track
A hundred yards
from the winning post
The horse fell down
must have seen a ghost

That is still my
sure fire thing
But there's a place
where I still win
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
Ooh, 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
Okay, okay your ten thousand
I just can't just can't
lose out on this and
ten thousand more

You want to raise me?
Oh you want to raise me?
How about this?
Okay you want to see me
twenty thousand and
twenty thousand more?

What's that?
Well I got, I got
a full house, a royal flush
Well ain't that a bust I'm broke
