Love Is A Gamble - Johnny Mathis

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, passion 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
