(verse 1) The room was smoky and dim When I laid my eyes on him He held his cards close to his chest And hid his tell behind his smile I tumbled the dice as I watched him play I was attracted to his style He knew how to hold the table And I wanted to see if he could hold me If he was able (chorus) I took a chance on him I rolled the dice and held my breath And hoped he’d be my win I bet it all on him And waited for his kiss I knew the minute he smiled I could not lose I would not miss (verse 2) He always won He was cool and sharp He knew when to raise his bet And when to fold his hand His eyes gave away no tell And his smile said He could raise some hell I was ready to meet that heat (chorus) I took a chance on him I rolled the dice and held my breath And hoped he’d be my win I bet it all on him And waited for his kiss I knew the minute he smiled I could not lose I would not miss (bridge) Deal the cards Roll the dice Kiss my lips And make it nice Play your hand And deal it straight Be my love Don’t hesitate (chorus) I took a chance on him I rolled the dice and held my breath And hoped he’d be my win I bet it all on him And waited for his kiss I knew the minute he smiled I could not lose I would not miss Play your hand And deal it straight Be my love Don’t hesitate I knew the minute he smiled I could not lose I would not miss
