Heartbreak Game Lyrics

Heartbreak Game lyrics

It's not as if I didn't know better, her innocent look and a scented letter 

It looked like love but it felt like a memory 

Sometimes a young girl wants a ticket out 

and a gambler on a roll looks good no doubt 

But if you think you're winnin' you don't even know the game you're in 



Chorus: 

It's read ‘em and weep, it's a sad old song 

You take your chances just the same 

Don't it serve me right how it all went wrong 

Bettin' on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game 

Bettin' on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game 



It's not as if she never loved me, but times get rough and the rooms get lonely


And a girl learns fast that there's a lot of different things called love 

I got burned bad but I'm still in this game 

It's a dirty deal but nobody's to blame 

The odds are good lady luck will be back again 



Chorus 



Bridge: 

Sometimes you gotta bet your aces low 

Sometimes you gotta let a good hand go 



Chorus 2x 



Bettin' on a hard luck heart in a heartbreak game
