I Won't Gamble With Your Love Lyrics

Patty Loveless I Won't Gamble With Your Love

I've taken a lot of chances
I've drawn to a lot of bad cards
There was nothin' I minded losing
So I never took losing to hard

Well since I won your love
I guess, I've changed my ways
There's a lot of games in this old town
But there's one I no longer play

I won't gamble with your love
I don't care to risk that much
One thing you can be sure of
I won't gamble with your love

How many times did I play for seven
When I gave those dice a roll
I know all of my prayers were answered
Sometimes yes, but a lot of times no

Now I know all I was after
Could be mine forever more
There are no other pleasures
I would trade my treasures for

I won't gamble with your love
I don't care to risk that much
One thing you can be sure of
I won't gamble with your love

These boys they come around
Say, "Baby take a chance on me"
I say, "No", they say, "Why not?"
Tell 'um, "I'm pretty happy with what I got
Anything else would be another long shot"

I won't gamble with your love
I don't care to risk that much
One thing you can be sure of
I won't gamble with your love
I won't gamble with your love
