Gambler's Fever

Don't fall in love with a gambler,
he'll only break your heart.
He'll make you trust him,
but tell you lies from the start.

A gambler is a master of deceit,
he learns well to hide his addiction.
He even convinces himself
that it's just a minor affliction.

He'll steal from his own family
to feed his gambling fever.
He promises to stop,
but that won't happen either.

A gambler's only true love
is placing another bet.
He'll keep his family pennyless
and always deep in debt.

A gambler will leave you
if you try to tie him down.
He's off to the race track
to bet on a new horse he found.

Lotto, poker and horses
are the things that fill his mind.
There's no time for family ,
he'll just leave you far behind.

A winning ticket excites him
far more than you ever will.
The life of a gambler's wife
can be a very bitter pill.

Don't fall in love with a gambler,
he'll just break your heart.
He'll spin you a web of lies
right from the very start.
