Playing Aces Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're playing aces

Still, I'm all in once again

Without a tell, I'm on my game

No hesitation

Just a gambler till the end

So much to prove, I'm on the take



[Pre-Chorus]

I hope in time that I can be a better man (Ooh)

I cannot fold, I'll take a chance



[Chorus]

And if I risked it all

I hope you'll understand

That I had to play my hand

If I give it all

At least I stand a chance

No, I don't wanna lose again

Bad luck be damned



[Verse 2]

You call my bluff tonight

I raise you with a smile

To try and change this destiny

I'm running out of time

And praying all the while

Just one more win will set me free



[Pre-Chorus]

I hope in time that I can be a better man (Ooh)

I cannot fold, I'll take a chance



[Chorus]

And if I risked it all

I hope you'll understand

That I had to play my hand

If I give it all

At least I stand a chance

No, I don't wanna lose again

Bad luck be damned



[Bridge]

How many times have I tried?

A river of tears I have cried

And though I have been at my worst

It is time for resolve and rebirth



[Guitar Solo]



[Chorus]

And if I risked it all

I hope you'll understand

That I had to play my hand

If I give it all

At least I stand a chance

No, I don't wanna lose again

Bad luck be damned



[Outro]

Bad luck be damned
