Bet Money Lyrics by Joe Jordan
Fire going, you were glowing
Skin was showing, laying on my chest
You were hummin, singing summin’
I’d never heard and never would again
You said “*** is just a part of love
And what we have is worth more than that”
Oh, I’d give a million bucks for you to mean what you said
And just come back
Just come back
I’d have bet money that you’d love me like you said
I’d have bet you my whole heart
But you ripped it out instead
Yeah the worst of it is I keep crawling back
I’m a gambler and lover
Thought we were betting on each other
Turns out you’re on red and I’m on black
I’d have bet money
That you’d have loved me back
Skipping pebbles, counting ripples
Twelve’ll get you to the other side
You’re reciting all your poetry
You’re pretty brain is beauty miles wide
You’d say “Love is like the soul’s light bulb
And darling ours gets brighter everynight”
I guess lights can’t shine forever
And they disappear in the fog of morning light
I’d have bet money that you’d love me like you said
I’d have bet you my whole heart
But you ripped it out instead
Yeah the worst of it is I keep crawling back
I’m a gambler and lover
Thought we were betting on each other
Turns out you’re on red and I’m on black
I’d have bet money
That you’d have loved me back
But you don’t love me back
No, you don’t love me back
