Stakes Have Gone Up Lyrics

Bernard Allison Stakes Have Gone Up

At one time I might have let it fly
At one time I might have let it ride
Now I'm not so easy to satisfy

Stakes have gone up
My stakes have gone up
The stakes have gone up
The stakes have gone up

I thought I know what I was lookin for
And then you came walkin through the door
This ain't a game we're playin anymore

Stakes have gone up
My life is too tough
I ain't goin to give up
My stakes have gone up

It's all or nothin, it's hit or miss
No one breaks even in a game like this
You try to fight it but you can't resist
You goin to pay for every stolen kiss

I remember there was a time
I could have left with out even tryin
Now my whole life is on the line

Stakes have gone up
My life has been rough
It's been tough enough

My stakes have gone up
(16 bar Solo)

You think your troubles have finely gone
That's when the pressure gets really on
That's when it starts getting hot
Tryin to hold on to a good thing you've got

It's all or nothin, it's hit or miss
No one breaks even in a game like this
You try to fight it but you can't resist

Stakes have gone up
My stakes have gone up
The stakes have gone up
The stakes have gone up

Stakes have gone up
My life is too tough
I ain't goin to give up
My stakes have gone up
