Johnny Mathis - Love Is A Gamble lyrics

Back when I was still in school I got taught as a rule That my heart could always fool my head So I tripped and fell a lot Learning what true love was not Till one evening Mama said we ought to talk She said love is a gamble It's a chance that you take You lay your heart down And you bet it won't break You bet your sweet dreams Won't get tattered and torn But when that happens You must shake off those blues Just remember you've got nothing to lose But you've had true love since the day you were born Since the day you were born Then she told me all she knew About what makes true love true And it hasn't much to do with heat Young hearts race and then grow still Pa**ion cools and always will But a river just keeps filling up the sea You see love is a gamble It's a chance that you take You lay your heart down And you bet it won't break You bet your sweet dreams Won't get tattered and torn But when that happens You must dream up some more When you find it you'll have seen it before But you've had true love Since the day you were born Love is a gamble It's a chance that you take To lay your heart down And you bet it won't break You bet your sweet dreams Won't get tattered and torn But when that happens You must shake off those blues And just remember you got nothing to lose You've had true love Since the day you were born Since the day you were born
