Bill Reynolds - Double or Nothing lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh Lord, there she goes She turns her back and walks away It all comes as no surprise For it happens everyday I knew I had lost When our lonely eyes did meet I'd bring all the things she'd ask And she'd bring me to my knees [Verse 2] But I'm gonna bet it on a sure thing That tonight she calls me up And says ‘babe I'm the one that was wrong I don't want us to give up She said ‘it's sweet and it touched my soul' She said ‘I want the same as you' ‘Someone to keep my fears at bay And a love that could be true.' [Pre-Chorus] But in the morning she'll be gone…oh And like the morning before I'm all alone Holding on to nothing gets so old...oh I think I found a new place where I can go [Chorus] Way up on the hill Where I see the city lights Some folks come from miles around Just to dance into the night I'll go there too I'm gonna fall in love again Put double or nothing on this broken heart This time I know I'll win [Verse 3] My heart's on the ground It got dropped and broke to pieces And every time I hear you tell me you love me Like a fool I do believe it If youth is wasted on the young We waste that wisdom on the aged I should've learned these lessons long ago Back when my heart could take it [Pre-Chorus] I ain't no quitter, that's for sure...oh No time to pine away or walk the floor Holding on to nothing gets so old...oh I think I found a new place where I can go [Chorus] Way up on the hill Where I see the city lights Some folks come from miles around Just to dance into the night I'll go there too I'm gonna fall in love again Put double or nothing on this broken heart This time I know I'll win Put double or nothing on this broken heart This time I know I'll win
