The wheel was spinning away my earnings and
the bets had stopped
across the table she smiled to herself
with her eyes dropped - a little
she put her winnings on to five and zero
then she looked my way
this was the moment that I had to angle to
make my play
My heart was thumping as I bought my chips
and then I placed them next to hers
the room was hazy and the tension building
as I looked across at her
as the ball dropped into the slot at zero
she smiled a secret smile
my hand was trembling as I reached for my winnings
then gave her back a pile
and if it's alright
I think I'll run and hide
run and hide
As I followed her into the soft moonlight
I said you brought me luck
she said It's no fun when you're losing or
giving up
So I held her to me and I breathed the fragrance of her
breathtaking perfume
and the croupier said "Les jeux sont faits"
as I saw she'd left the room
and if it's alright
I think I'll run and hide
run and hide
Zero, five and zero
