Today a friend told me
That you asked about me
And said you are lonely
Since you have been free
You want a new chance, dear
To proove you are true
But I'm taking my chances
With somebody new
I'd still like to have you
No need to deny
But in this game of love, dear
The odds are too high
I know I must gamble
For love that is true
But I'm taking my chances
With somebody new
I know life's a gamble
For better or worse
And we take a chance for
A blessing or curse
Well, I took a chance when
I gave you my heart
But I'm a good loser
I'll take a new start
I could hold a pat hand
By average of low
But I think on this to you
I'll take a card on the draw
I know I must gamble
For love that is true
But I'm taking my chances
With somebody new
