((( THE GAMBLER )))

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere

I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness

'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak

He said, "Son, I've made a life, out of readin' people's faces

And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes

So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces

For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow

Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression

Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right"

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away and know when to run

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep

'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep

And when he finished speakin', he turned back towards the window

Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away and know when to run

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away and know when to run

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away and know when to run

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

((( LOOKING FOR LOVE )))

Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you

Single bars and good time lovers were never true

Playin' a fool's game, hopin' to win

And tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.

Chorus

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places

Lookin' for love in too many faces

Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces

Of what I'm dreamin' of

Hopin' to find a friend and a lover

I'll bless the day I discover,

Another heart- lookin' for love.

And I was alone then, no love in sight

n' I did every thing I could to get me through the night

don't know where it started or where it might end

I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend.

Chorus

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places

Lookin' for love in too many faces

Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces

Of what I'm dreamin' of

Hopin' to find a friend and a lover

I'll bless the day I discover,

Another heart- lookin' for love.

And you came knockin' on my hearts door

You're everything I've been lookin' for

No more lookin' for love in all the wrong places

Lookin' for love in too many faces

Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces

Of what I'm dreamin' of

Now that I found a friend and a lover

I'll bless the day I discover you-oh you

(Lookin' for love) In all the wrong places

(Lookin' for love) In too many faces

Searchin' their eyes, lookin' for traces

Of what I'm dreamin' of

Now that I found a friend and a lover

I'll bless the day I discover you-oh you

Lookin' for love

(In all the wrong places ...)
