Lottery
I was 19 and you were 23
We stayed in Number 4 Ferdinand Street
We spent five talking 'bout our lives
But we'd talked like that about a thousand times
And I'm bored of all that
You used to tell me that love is a lottery and
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
I tell you about a guy that
I've been with, you ask
"How old is he?," and I laugh, "26"
"Nah, but he's 30!
How messed up is that?"
"Well, forget it," he says
"I'm a jealous man and I don't wanna talk about that"
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
Are you still bettin' on me?
Hold on, my dear, hold on real tight
It's just a numbers game in my mind
And we've been here a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand-
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you'll play it any way
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
Are you still bettin' on me?
We stayed in Number 4 Ferdinand Street
We spent five talking 'bout our lives
But we'd talked like that about a thousand times
And I'm bored of all that
You used to tell me that love is a lottery and
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
I tell you about a guy that
I've been with, you ask
"How old is he?," and I laugh, "26"
"Nah, but he's 30!
How messed up is that?"
"Well, forget it," he says
"I'm a jealous man and I don't wanna talk about that"
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
Are you still bettin' on me?
Hold on, my dear, hold on real tight
It's just a numbers game in my mind
And we've been here a thousand times
A thousand times, a thousand-
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to say that love is a game, but
You got your numbers and you'll play it any way
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
You used to tell me that love is a lottery, but
You got your numbers and you're bettin' on me
Are you still bettin' on me?
