Playing to Win

The stakes are high
Place your bet on the one you choose
Can't put my cards on the table
I know I got a lot to lose
Can't show my hand cause I'm playing to win

I'll play it cool
Showing no emotion when you dance
I know her eyes are gonna tell me
When it's safe enough to take a chance
I'll play my hand like I'm playing to win

Love is a gamble but I want you to deal me in
Oh love you're on my mind like a game I'm playing to win

The lights are low
I can't let her know how much I care
She's got a way of flirting
Like she wants a simple love affair
I'll play her game but I'm playing to win

I love this girl
If she says I love you with her lips
Until I've won her heart
I know she holds all the winning chips
She'll deal me in but I'm playing to win

Love is a gamble but I want you to deal me in
Oh love you're on my mind like a game I'm playing to win

She broke the rules
She loves me then she cheats
She's playing love games
And I'm playing the game for keeps
She'll understand I'm playing to win

The stakes are high
Place your bet on the one you choose
Can't put my cards on the table
I know I got a lot to lose
Can't show my hand cause I'm playing to win
