Lucky In Love - Sarah Vaughan

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 a place where I still win

But there's no money in this thing

The game of hearts puts me in spades

The only game I got it made

Oh, I'm lucky in love!

Yes, I've got the winning touch

Lucky in love!

Suddenly, I'm dangerous

I'm betting on a filly down at the track

A natural-born winner, that's a fact

A hundred yards from the winning post

The horse fell down, must seen a ghost

But there's a place where I still win

That is still my sure-fire thing

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 in back

And late at night I lay in bed

With a pistol to my head

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

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

I just can't believe I'll lose out on this

Okay! Okay! Your ten thousand and ten thousand more

You want to raise me, you want to raise me? How about this?

Twenty thousand and twenty thousand more

Okay! You want to see me? Well I got, I got a full house

What's that? A royal flush?

Well, ain't that a bust, I'm broke!
