Gambled Love Away
She knew he was trouble when he first came along
She sensed the misery that was the ending of their song
She’d been there a time or two when once was quite enough
She saw the heartbreak comin’ that would end her one true love
But his mystery was a gamble his pull was way too strong
The risk faded into the shadows, all her common sense was gone
Those many years of buildin’ trust and truth came into play
She balanced on the edge of love then she gambled love away
Where comfort and convenience had become her way of life
Came danger with dark eyes offered pleasures in the night
His talk was slow and thoughtful his smile, quick and bright
All her ice melted into passion she lost track of wrong or right
Cause his mystery was a gamble and she just had to play
The darkness was seduction, she’d regret the break of day
All those many years of buildin’ trust and truth came into play
She balanced on the edge of love then gambled love away
