Are you winning
Bet against the house
Lose your shirt
The keys to your car
I’d bet my world on you
All my money and possessions
Everything I’ve ever owned
I throw it down for your concession
Would you do the same for me
Risk it all on a single race
My colors are black and white
If you lose it all, would it be such a waste?
The queen of hearts
With a weighted dice
Plays to win
She knows the price
On her favorites back
The weight is strong
I can carry it home
I know the race is long
The cards are stacked
And her hands are slight
I’ll watch her close
Always deal to the right
At the end of the game
When my hand is revealed
She knew all along
It was love I’d concealed
At least that’s what she says
