I got a hunger, a feeling that can't be fed For the good looks and the charms of a woman A woman dressed in red My body hurts, my heart it aches My hands a quiver, my knees start to shake If she's feeling nasty I've got good news She's not alone just stand in my shoes Nothing ventured - nothing gained Nothing ventured - nothing gained When I needed money, they told me go find a job So I gave it a try, worked all day like a dog My body hurts, my heart it aches My hands a quiver, my knees start to shake When I walk out, I never go back If that makes you sorry, just stop in your tracks Nothing ventured - nothing gained Nothing ventured - nothing gained Nothing ventured - nothing gained Nothing ventured - nothing gained I had a friend, his head always in the sky One day he said to me, c'mon and give this stuff a try My body hurts, my heart it aches My hands a quiver, my knees start to shake That stuff hit me so bad, I'll never be the same But what does it matter cause I'm always game Nothing ventured - nothing gained Nothing ventured - nothing gained
